Even if it's all by the contract, one would suppose an issuer would think very hard before doing that. It could taint their brand, their other leveraged ETFs, or even bring down more regulations.

Barclays did that I think in 2011. Their ETN was badly designed, the termination event was based on an absolute $ price, not a % movement.
