Any state trust company may place its assets and business under the control of the Bank Commissioner for liquidation by a resolution of a majority of its directors or members upon notice to the commissioner, and, upon taking possession of the state trust company, the commissioner, or duly appointed agent, shall retain possession thereof until the state trust company shall be authorized by the commissioner to resume business or until the affairs of the state trust company shall be fully liquidated as herein provided. No state trust company shall make any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors except by surrendering possession of its assets to the commissioner, as herein provided. Whenever any state trust company for any reason shall suspend operations for any length of time, the state trust company shall, immediately upon the suspension of operations, be deemed in the possession of the commissioner and subject to liquidation hereunder.
