(c) Any person defrauded or injured by any wrongful act, misrepresentation, or failure on the part of the club with respect to the selling or rendering of any of its benefits or services may bring suit on the bond, if the security be a bond, in his own name. The commissioner may bring suit on such bond. If the security be a deposit of securities, any such a person or the commissioner may levy upon the same in execution of a judgment.
