Sec. 26. (a) Every officer, manager, employee, shareholder, member, subscriber, attorney, or any other person acting on behalf of the insurer who knowingly participates in giving any preference when he has reasonable cause to believe the insurer is or is about to become insolvent at the time of the preference is personally liable to the liquidator for the amount of the preference. If the transfer was made within four (4) months before the date of filing a successful petition for liquidation it may be presumed that the person knew of the pending insolvency.

(c) Nothing in this section shall prejudice any other claim by the liquidator against any person.
As added by Acts 1979, P.L.255, SEC.1. Amended by P.L.1-1991, SEC.168.
