"9/5/18, 9:46AM I could get you a meeting, but would need some guidance on what assurances you would need to move away from your plan. Frankly, I'm not sure they have thought about the business past March.
9/5/18, 10:10AM I have told jared numerous times that they are not a software company just because they have some software. There are lots of little nuances my merchants need...
I will present your proposal as objectively and honestly as is possible. I do have great concerns on what the company will look like after the transition, I am very concerned about losing my sales guys
9/5/18, 10:11 AM I certainly do not expect you to move any business to a company where you don't have comfort. You have to believe there will be a future, or you wouldn't move anything from Fiserv.
9/5/18, 10:11 AM Correct
9/5/18, 10:12 AM One thing to also consider. We can offer Jared a soft landing. Or he can go at it alone, and take the risk of being shut down and burning his customers.
9/5/18, 10:12AM Agreed 9/5/18, 10:13 AM He is a tough negotiator. But a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.
9/5/18, 10:14 AM What the hell does that mean? Lol.

Summary:
The provided text messages convey a conversation between J. Isaacman (of Shift4) and Nate Hirshberg discussing negotiations with Jared Isaacman (Card Connect). The key phrase, "We can offer Jared a soft landing or he can go at it alone and take the risk of being shut down and burning his customers," implies a threat directed at Card Connect's business and its customer base. The trial transcript confirms this interpretation, with J. Isaacman admitting that "shut down" meant halting Card Connect sales and "burning his customers" referred to Card Connect's clients.
The "surveillance," content are exhibits 1 and 12, they are still images. Described in docket entries 65-1, and 68-12. The descriptions show that these were images taken from surveillance footage from the Stacks location, and they show J. Isaacman and others.
