Discovery bank *****ulant transaction

we were hacked and a discovery account holder diverted a customer payment to a discovery account holders account,my customer did inform discovey and got their bank FNB to report and also reported to the SAP and they are investergating.luckly my customer did not do emmidate payment and discovery put hold on account and they are investergating with their ***** department,this is now been going on for over 4-weeks [16/10/25 my customer contacts Discovery on a regular basis,but say the investergation is in process,and we will be contacted once the investergation is completed,the problem is we are a small business and the amount of R135,700.23 and an aditional amount of R6724.05 which was another diverertion is extreamly damaging to our cash flow,as we are a small business and this is really causing issues with our suppliers and would like to get up-date so at least we can comunicate with our suppliers, your urgent attention to this unfortunate matter would be highly appricated best regards peter tuohy mj manufacturing T/A The office furniture warehouse *** ***

so basically we have achieved nothing with discovery bank
we supp**** office furniture to a customer and the invoice was redirected to a discovery Gold transaction account, my customer via their bank FNB made contact with Discovery with all the correct details, this was around 16th October, when my customer call for update the response is on going investigating.
considering that my customer did not do immediate payment and reported same day, cant understand the hold up??
today i have spent 2/3 hours trying to get feed back and some idea of update.
