Okay, let's break down the Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC case and find the exhibits you're looking for, specifically focusing on text messages and the term "retribution."
Case Background and Context

Message Content Brad, It is disappointing that this is your response.
I am not going away until every dollar owed to Shift4 is collected. Also, it is probably a good time to let you know that two large Fiserv customers will be moving to Shift4 in the coming weeks in a show of appreciation for our partnership. This should easily cover all of your legal bills. I realize this will bring about retribution in some form from Fiserv but we have everything well documented and ready.
I appreciate the value of long-standing industry relationships so it is a shame that this is your approach.
Thank you,
Jered

Brad,
I wanted to make myself available to discuss open items between Shift4 and CardConnect/Fiserv.
Please consider this email documentation that:
-
Shift4 has fulfilled its obligations under the Reseller Agreement and the Amendment.
-
We expect Fiserv to fulfill its obligations and will be pursuing all available remedies.
-
Fiserv owes Shift4 a substantial amount of money. I have a high degree of confidence we will prevail.
I would like to have time to discuss these topics today. I will be calling you at 10:00am.
Thank you,
Jered Isaacman | CEO Shift4 Payments M: 610.###.#### | O: 888.###.#### 2202 N. Irving Street | Allentown, PA 18109
