Crossword Genius

A criminal set? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

receiver

This clue is a double definition.

'a criminal' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'set?' is the second definition.
(I know that receiver is a type of set)

(Other definitions for receiver that I've seen before include "Person dealing with property of bankrupt" , "Telephone handset" , "When a business fails, this person is appointed to liquidate or protects assets" , "Communications device" , "Person appointed to liquidate or preserve assets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
