if the Secretary so requires within one month after the notice is given—must transfer and deliver the property to the Secretary, or

if no such requirement is made—must transfer and deliver the property to the relevant licensee or relevant associate.

If property other than money is transferred or delivered to the Secretary under this section, the Secretary—

must deal with it as the Supreme Court directs, and

The Secretary must apply money paid to the Secretary under this section—
