Jim has been a faithful employee of Daddy's Denture, Inc. (DD) for four years. He has held various positions where he handles receipts, credit memos, and other accounting records. Along with recently added responsibilities, Jim has discovered more opportunity to commit fraud. Over the past three months, Jim figured out that he can create fictitious vendors and write checks from DD to these fictitious vendors and deposit the checks in a new bank account he opened under a false name. Jim put this plan into action and has so far stolen $7,000 from DD. One day, Jim had to call in sick. A co-worker, Judd, assumed Jim's responsibilities for the day.

Both Judd and Jim proceeded through each of the five reactions to crises.
