Based on the court documents available for Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, (Case 2:17-cv-00477-GMN-VCF in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada), there were indeed many exhibits filed as part of the case. These exhibits included emails, contracts, declarations, and other supporting documents.

Here are some of the emails from the case exhibits, focusing on those from “J” (presumably J. David Oder) or Jared Isaacman, especially those containing profanity, and prioritizing older ones. Note that I am reproducing the text as it appears in the court documents, including truths already present in those filings. I have provided context about the exhibit whenever possible.

Important Note: These are selections, and there may be other relevant emails within the hundreds of pages of exhibits.

  Bob,

  This is fucking insane.

  We are not fulfilling contractual obligations. It is that simple. This is exactly how channel
  conflicts/issues begin. We have made considerable progress on our side as you requested. The
  remaining items require additional time.

  I am going to recommend to Shift4 that they cease all referrals to CardConnect until we have this in
  order. I am sure you have plenty of resellers in your world to make up for the shortfall.

  I will also discuss with Andrew escalating the matter which is the general recommendation
  between counsel as I understand. I want to give you fair warning. We are operating in good faith at
  all times.

  We are owed $2,100+ to date. Pay ASAP.

  Jared

  I also wanted to share some articles with you I have found to be pretty informative to me.
  You might enjoy.

  We did put 1.0 in the agrerment [sic].

  The bigger, underlying problem is they don’t seem to give a shit about the psp program. Its
  all on us. They don’t send leads. They don’t introduce us. They just point merchants to our
  site. Its total bullshit.

  This says 1%. Bob said it was in error.

  We should get the paper copy of the signed agreement as its been a year of games.

  I bet it gets corrected, again , after signature.

  Bob,
  Can you please run this up the flagpole? I’ve been flying all day and can’t spend anymore
  time on it tonight. The games continue for a program that has been in place for 2+ years with no
  issues until early last year. No one could have ever signed up for this much bullshit.
  Thanks,
  Jared

  Subject: FW: HSI Reporting

  [REDACTED],

  Can you please pull the reporting for HSI as described below and send to [REDACTED]
  address? We are not getting any support from your team on even pulling a report out of your system?

  As an aside, HSI is a long, long-time customer of ours. We migrated them to the First Data
  platform ~2011. They use our gateway (4Go) and they use our Level II/III capabilities and our reporting platform (myaccountinfo).

  When we transitioned the relationship to you (as we discussed many, many, many times) it was
  supposed to be a seamless, seamless, seamless transition. We were not supposed to lose ANY
  functionality. [REDACTED] was supposed to manage relationships with our very large customers
  and prospects. [REDACTED] was even supposed to be attending trade shows to learn about those
  relationships and that line of business. [REDACTED] supposed to manage the relationships (be the
  point) and provide 24/7 support.

  When this deal began we were supposed to get leads. To date, Shift4, has generated more volume
  for CC than CC has generated for Shift4. This despite our very large install base and our own
  resources to dedicate to selling the solution.

  This simply is not working.

  I understand you guys were on vacation, but this began long before last week. HSI should
  have been managed, period. I understand you manage lots of referral relationships, however, this
  is bullshit.

  Please escalate this to Bob.

Key Points and Context:

• Channel Conflict: The emails reveal significant tension and “channel conflict” arising from the partnership, particularly around commission payments, lead sharing, and the level of support provided by CardConnect.
• Breach of Contract Allegations: Jared Isaacman explicitly mentions that he believes CardConnect is not fulfilling contractual obligations, particularly concerning payments.
• Dissatisfaction with Partnership: Shift4’s leadership expresses strong dissatisfaction with the partnership, citing a lack of lead generation from CardConnect, insufficient support, and a feeling that CardConnect doesn’t “give a shit about the psp program.”
• Escalation: The emails show an escalation of the issues, with discussions of involving legal counsel and ceasing referrals.
• Time Frame. Show the oldest email to be concerning the commissions of shift4 employees.
• David Oder sent concerns through email to Card Connect on August 17, 2016

These email excerpts provide a glimpse into the deteriorating relationship between CardConnect and Shift4, ultimately leading to the lawsuit. They demonstrate the core disputes regarding contract performance, financial obligations, and the overall value (or lack thereof) derived from the partnership from Shift4’s perspective.
