(a) The commissioner may issue an order suspending or revoking a license, or taking possession of and placing a licensee in receivership, if after notice and an opportunity for hearing, the commissioner finds that:
(1) The licensee is violating this division or a regulation adopted or an order issued under this division, or a condition of approval issued under this division.
(2) The licensee does not cooperate with an examination or investigation by the commissioner.
(3) The licensee engages in fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or gross negligence.
(4) The competence, experience, character, or general fitness of the licensee, or any director, officer, employee, or person in control of a licensee, indicates that it is not in the public interest to permit the person to provide money transmission services.
(5) The licensee engages in an unsafe or unsound practice.
(6) The licensee is insolvent, suspends payment of its obligations, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
(7) The licensee does not remove an agent after the commissioner issues and serves upon the licensee a final order including a finding that the agent has violated this division.
(8) The licensee has applied for an adjudication of bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, or other relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or moratorium law, or any person has applied for any such relief under that law against the licensee and the licensee has by any affirmative act approved of or consented to the action or the relief has been granted.
(9) Any fact or condition exists that, if it had existed at the time when the licensee applied for its license, would have been grounds for denying the application.
(b) In determining whether a licensee is engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice, the commissioner may consider the size and condition of the licensee’s provision of money transmission services, the magnitude of the loss, the gravity of the violation of this division, and the previous conduct of the person involved.
