Donald has a bank account at Republic Live Bank which is heavily overdrawn. The bank sent out numerous correspondences to Donald about the overdraft limit and the need for Donald to meet with them and discuss repayment. Donald in his usual way ignored the bank’s request. Mr Big, the Manager of Republic Live Bank is expected to meet with Donald and negotiate how they will reduce the overdraft amounts. During his review of Donald’s drawdowns over the last few months, he noticed that a cheque was drawn, and the sums paid to a known drug dealer. He telephoned Donald’s home to set up a meeting and his maid answered the phone. Mr Big proceeded to explain to the maid that Donald’s account is heavily overdrawn and during the conversation, pointed out that he saw a transaction whereby Donald paid a known Drug dealer.

Donald’s maid became extremely interested in this new revelation, because she had it in for Donald for cutting her salary, due to her damaging his oriental carpet in the living room. The maid proceeded to inform all of her relatives and friends of this new revelation, which lead to persons accusing Donald of Drug trafficking, which damaged his reputation. Donald's maid told Mr. Big that Donald also has dealings with the Royalty Bank. Mr. Big uses his connections at the Royalty Bank to find out from James Elliott that Donald has received two salaries, one from the ABC Corporation and the other from the XYZ Company, and that Donald has more than US$70,000 there. Mr. Big confronted Donald about these funds and demanded that Donald settle his accounts at the Republic Live Bank. Donald is furious and confronted the maid on the issue of his Royalty Bank account and she informed him that she had a conversation with Mr Big – Manager of Republic Live Bank, who told her that Donald is a Drug Trafficker. Then she admitted that she told Mr. Big about Donald having an account at Royalty Bank since she saw his bank statements at home.
