No, the SEC put the org in receivership and then appointed a receiver to find where the money went.

i'm not expert, but that's the court appointing the receiver, and a receiver takes over a company but looks out for creditor's interests.

The point of the receivership was to recover the money for creditors, not investors. Investors are quite literally the last people who get a recovery from a receivership.
I'm not going to keep arguing with a non-lawyer about something I've been involved with as a lawyer, so this will be my last comment on the matter.

While you are correct in the general sense, court-ordered receiverships due to SEC enforcement action are very much about recovering investor money in a fraud situation.
