Fair enough. If it was all margin calls from accounts bellow the limit that's acceptable but if they liquidated everything on margin that would still be pretty questionable.

Not that questionable when volatility is extreme. The risk that the price is dramatically lower when the market opens tomorrow may be too large, and they would rather not be stuck with their customers' debt when that happens.
