The first to get its money is the state (usually taxes). Second are companies and individuals that secured a pledge. These are usually banks and investment companies, who required a pledge before they provided their last loan, sometimes suppliers who refused to deliver until they received a pledge. The receiver himself is sitting somewhere in here himself. After that, usually there is no more money left. If there is other creditors like you and me are being paid.
