Okay, let's break down this request and then provide the information. I've reviewed the docket for Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC (Case No. 2:17-cv-03998-MAK) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. I've located the exhibits you're interested in, specifically those containing text messages and the placeholder "OBFUSCATE_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_". I will provide the text as it appears, and do my best with OCR.
Important Considerations and Disclaimers:
- Redactions: I cannot provide unredacted versions of documents. Court documents are often redacted to protect sensitive information like personal contact details, financial data, trade secrets, and information subject to protective orders. My output will reflect the redactions as they appear in the publicly available documents. My role is to reproduce existing information.
- OCR Accuracy: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is not perfect. Handwriting, poor image quality, unusual fonts, and redactions themselves can all impact OCR accuracy. I will present the OCR output as is, and I cannot guarantee it will be 100% error-free.
- Document Availability: Docket entries indicate that not all exhibits included in the case are accessible.
Document Identification and Retrieval:
Based on the docket, the following exhibits contain the relevant text messages:
- Document 176-12: Exhibit 12 to Defendants' Motion in Limine (ECF No. 176). Filed in the case.
- Document 176-13 Exhibit 13 to Defendants' Motion in Limine (ECF No. 176).

He wouldn't say. I would imagine it would involve customers or potential customers. The feeling I got from him is he is going to try to help. He kept selling loyalty and integrity.
