its easy to get to zereo. if you are a leveraged fund which is primarily invested by another leveraged fund and by extension everything that was the orginal capital is now by final standing only some very minor percentage of the total levered investment: voila! it takes only a tiny move against you, to wipe out all of the (paltry) underlying capital, so that all you have in that moment is one big fat debt berg, which unlike a glacier, floats on nothing but liquid air. either the position returns your way, or it simply evaporates. ditto for all such enterprises from florida condos to cdo's, reo's, lbo's and pyramid selling of diet cookies or tupperware parties. over rover. unless someone would like to step in, say the chinese with their 1.3 trillion play dough. seems doubtful they would for a variety of reasons, but then who thought the japanese would play ball for so long.
