Text: Lighting and Lamp Wholesalers, Inc. (“L&L”) provided light fixtures for HVF and for Community Bank projects. When Bishop began doing business with L&L, he did not request separate accounts, and when L&L supplied fixtures for HVF, the invoices for the fixtures were submitted to and paid by Community Bank. In November 1998, after commencement of the Townes litigation, Bishop opened a separate account for HVF, and thousands of dollars were refunded to Community Bank’s L&L account. Moreover, on an L&L invoice from September 1998, charges were specifically marked as having been incurred by L&L at the “Arena” at HVF. 13 Nevertheless, Bishop crossed out the “Arena” designation and wrote in “Demopolis,” which is the name of a Community Bank branch that was under construction in Demopolis, Alabama. Bishop approved the invoice for payment by Community Bank, and Community Bank paid accordingly.
