5. If it is found that the offender is possessed of any goods, rights, credits, chattels, moneys or effects which are held by any person, firm or corporation for the present or subsequent use of the offender, then the lien provided for herein, or a notice of the existence thereof, may be forwarded by registered mail to the person, firm, or corporation and shall become binding upon any property rights so held. The person, firm or corporation shall thereafter be precluded from disposing of the property rights until the lien is satisfied or until the holder of the lien consents thereto.

Any person, firm or corporation disposing of any such property or moneys after receipt of notice of the lien shall be liable to the State for the value of the property or moneys of which disposition has been made.
