A. A creditor of an association shall not dispose of securities pledged by the association prior to its being taken charge of by the commissioner, for less than the face value of the securities, without the written consent of the commissioner and the approval of the court in which the liquidation proceedings are being conducted, until at least twelve months have passed from the date the borrowing association was taken charge of by the commissioner.

B. A creditor of an association whose business has been taken charge of by the commissioner and who disposes of the pledged assets of the association in a manner otherwise than as provided for in this Section, shall be liable to the liquidator of the association in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized from the sale of the pledged securities and the amount of their face value.

C. Whoever violates this Section shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned for a term of not more than six months, or both.
