The commissioner may appoint as conservator 1 of the employees of the financial institutions bureau of the department of consumer and industry services or some other competent and disinterested person. The financial institutions bureau shall be reimbursed out of the assets of the conservatorship for all sums expended by the bureau in connection with the conservatorship as expenses.

At any appropriate time, the commissioner may terminate the conservatorship and permit the licensee to resume the transaction of its business subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations the commissioner may prescribe.
(3) If in the opinion of the commissioner it is appropriate that the licensee be liquidated, the commissioner, with the attorney general representing the commissioner, may apply to the circuit court for the county in which the principal office of the licensee is located for the appointment of a receiver for the licensee, if the commissioner determines that any of the following are true:

(b) The licensee has suspended payment of its obligations, has made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or has admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due.
(c) The licensee has applied for an adjudication of bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, or other relief under a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or moratorium law.
(d) A person has applied for the relief described under subdivision (c) against any licensee and that licensee has by an affirmative act approved of or consented to the action or the relief has been granted.
(e) The licensee is in a condition that makes it unsafe or unsound for the licensee to transact business.
(4) If a receiver is appointed under subsection (3), the receiver shall liquidate the property and business of the licensee in the manner provided for in sections 2401 to 2403 of the banking code of 1999, 1999 PA 276, MCL 487.12401 to 487.12403, as if the licensee were a bank.
