2. “the interests of the Receiver are very-broad and include not only protection of the receivership res, but also protection of defrauded investors and considerations of judicial economy.

3. “(1) [W]hether refusing to lift the stay genuinely preserves the status quo or whether the moving party will suffer substantial injury if not permitted to proceed; (2) the time in the course of the receivership at which the motion for relief from the stay is made; and (3) the merit of the moving party’s underlying claim.”
