LTCM partners borrowed large sums for stakes -WSJ

NEW YORK, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Four Long-Term Capital Management LP partners, including bond-arbitrage trader Lawrence Hilibrand and currency trader Hans Hufschmid, borrowed a total of nearly $43 million to make equity investments in the now-beleaguered hedge fund, people familiar with the situation said, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

Hilibrand and Hufschmid were the biggest borrowers, taking out personal loans of $24 million and $14.6 million, respectively, sources said, according to the report.

Two other partners, Arjun Krishnamacher and Gregory Hawkins, are also on the hook personally, borrowing $2.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, according to sources, the report said.
