Because banks and brokers had let LTCM borrow the full value of its collateral, LTCM's 4.8 billion dollars in capital dissipated quickly once banks began making margin calls.

Source quote, verbatim
Because banks and brokers had allowed LTCM to borrow 100 percent of the value of its collateral prior to the worsening of LTCM's financial condition in 1998, LTCM's $4.8 billion in capital dissipated quickly when the banks began to make margin calls.
