I don’t think it was the CH’s choice. I believe the collateral requirements are set in Dodd-Frank.

And financial firms don’t go j to extended bankruptcies when they run out of cash like other companies. They immediately go into receivership and/or liquidation. Trying to play chicken with the CH would have just ended RH as a company pretty much immediately.

If it was a regulatory requirement, then they should have been put in to receivership immediately. Being unable to meet colleterial requirements means they extended credit beyond their means.

They never went over the threshold because they turned off buying for the most volatile stocks.
