(1)  Any transfer of, or lien upon, the property of an insurer or affiliate which is made or created within 4 months prior to the commencement of any delinquency proceeding under this chapter with the intent of giving to any creditor of the insurer a preference or of enabling the creditor to obtain a greater percentage of her or his debt than any other creditor of the same class, and which is accepted by such creditor having reasonable cause to believe that such preference will occur, shall be voidable.

(2)  Every director, officer, employee, stockholder, member, subscriber, and any other person acting on behalf of such insurer who shall be concerned in any such act or deed and every person receiving thereby any property of such insurer or affiliate or the benefit thereof shall be personally liable therefor and shall be bound to account to the department.

(3)  The department as receiver in any proceeding under this chapter may avoid any transfer of, or lien upon, the property of an insurer which any creditor, stockholder, subscriber, or member of such insurer or affiliate might have avoided and may recover the property so transferred unless such person was a bona fide holder for value prior to the date of commencement of a delinquency proceeding under this chapter. Such property or its value may be recovered from anyone who has received it except a bona fide holder for value as herein specified.
