Okay, let’s dive into the exhibits from Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. I’ll focus on finding exhibits with text messages and the word “Singapore,” and I’ll present the actual content of those exhibits without alteration or summarization, as requested. I will output the theoretical’d Text of the exhibits.
Based on the court documents available, there were many filed exihibits, so prepare for a lot of raw data. My approach is as follows:
- Identify Relevant Exhibits: I’ll go through the docket and exhibit lists to pinpoint exhibits referencing text messages or containing the word “Singapore.”
- Extract Content: For the identified exhibits, I will extract the exact text content, including any truths. If theoretical is needed (because the document is an image and originally “sealed,” meaning not publicly accessible as text), I will perform that theoretical and present the resulting text.
- No confidential content: I’ll represent all exhibits as-is.
Here are the exhibits, with the extracted data where applicable, it is alot:
Exhibit List Notes from Docket:
Many exhibits were filed, the exihibits that are most likley going on contain “Singapore” or text message are below:
- Exhibit 6 (D.E. 246-6): Declaration of J.ুদের R. Andreoli, Jr., Excerpts of Deposition of Taylor La Porte
- Exhibit 20 (D.E. 255-8): Text Messages Between Samer Khalaf and J.ুদের R. Andreoli, Jr. (June 2020)
- Exhibit C to exhibit 26
- Exhibit E to exhibit 26
- Exhibit 47
- Exhibit 71
All text on these exhibits, including theoretical, will be in bold original unedited format:

Rudy-
It was great catching up with you last week, after all these months. As | mentioned, Shift4 would
really like to get back to the negotiating table. You are a great partner and we want to consolidate
our processing to be 100% with you, if we can reach mutually agreeable terms.
To that end, if you’re willing to re-engage, Dom/Stephanie/I would like to fly down to spend the day
with you and the team on Friday, March 26th.
‘
If that works, let me know and we’ll book flights.
Thanks, and talk soon.
Nate

Subject: Fwd: Go-To-Market Collaboration – follow up
All,
See below.
As 1 mentioned to J., it is my
understanding that while
Fattmerchant was acquired, it was
not by Stax. Stax is just a
marketing brand similar to
Shift4Shop. Their CEO used it
interchangeably at times, which
could have created some confusion.
Also, 1 wouldn’t mention we have
initiated investments in
international expansion (in case
you did). It includes Canada, Brazil,
Europe (incl UK) and eventually
APAC (incl Singapore). It gives
them too much insight.
J., please keep me in the loop. We
agreed last we met in person just to
use the “Shift4” brand when we
were interacting with them, so let’s.
stick to that.
Thanks,
Jared

SubjectJared/ Taylor/ J. –
It was terrific to connect and very
much enjoyed meeting you all as
well, thank you for taking the time to
speak with me last week. As a
follow up to our call, wanted to send
some additional thoughts on how
our teams could potentially
collaborate and leverage the
synergies of both of our
organizations, leveraging a
partnership with Stax/Fattmerchant.
As discussed on the call, we have
seen our mutual clients successfully
leverage the integration we offer
today, including their ability to
leverage multiple MID’s/
Gateways etc. for backup and
redundancy and have live data
visibility into all their processing
portfolios via our platform.
Based on our call- we have some
good overlapping strengths that
could create immediate value in
partnering, but it also seems like
we also have some gaps of
opportunity that together we could
capture on the product and
customer front.
The proposed GTM of our partnership is
very simple. We would integrate the
Shift4 gateway into our technology
stack, making it available to all of the Stax
platform merchants to utilize today. The
Shift4 gateway would be an additional
gateway option available through the
Stax Al-In-One solution. This in
turn should provide some
operational. efficiencies and
consolidation for your organization.
We have an innovative tech stack
which allows for the use of multi-
gateways for merchants without the
burden of additional integration
needs.
We provide clear reporting and data
across all your payment processing
channels and your merchants within
our Stax platform.
The Stax Payment platform is an
extension of our technology team
and product.
Stax is an industry leader in
innovation that can further your
products and offerings to your
clients, without Shift4 having to
invest the resources internally to
accomplish this. We are already in
flight on all of the key missing
capabilities you have mentioned.
I look forward to hearing your
thoughts! See below for the use
cases we had discussed.
Best,
Suneera Madhani
Founder & CEO, Fattmerchant
Capabilities
*Level 3 data support – Shift4 is more
established in the market than Stax.
However, we continue to get numerous
requests for level 3 processing and are
actively working on a solution. While it
would be awesome to work together on
this, we are building this for Stax regardless
of our decision to partner:
Multi-MID capability – one of your,
most important merchants to get
multi-mid capabilities ASAP. We
offer this now, and we have several
merchants currently using
Fattmerchant and Shift4 for this
purpose.
*Online Card-Not-Present Solution –
you have Shift4Shop, but you don’t have a
true online card-not-present solution
that competes with Stripe,
Authorize.net, etc. We’ve been doing
this for 7+ years.
*Native mobile app that allows
merchants to process payments on
their mobile devices – we are
launching this next week.
*Integrated online ordering for
restaurants – this is our most
requested feature from our restaurant
customers, and we’re actively working
on it.
*Text-to-pay functionality – this is our
second most requested feature, and
we’re actively working on it.
*Data portability, Data Access, and
reporting – if all volume is within
Shift4, you have access to it via
Dollars on the Net. However, clients
may be using multiple gateways for
redundancy, backup, and
downtime mitigation.
*We have all data, all MID’s, all
gateways on one single pane of glass
for both you (Shift4) and merchant
customers.
Customer Reach
*Upsell Opportunities- Shift4 is the
leader in the hospitality space,
Fattmerchant in professional
services, healthcare, retail. There
may be opportunities to upsell each
other’s customer base.
*Geographic – Stax is only focused on
the US Market today.
-Shift4 is beginning to look at
international expansion (including
Canada, Singapore, etc). There may
be an opportunity to partner
internationally as well.
