The "emergency" has been sustained capriciously,
in order to justify the permanent bankruptcy 
(read "rolling rehypothecation").

Hypothecate.  To pledge property as security
or collateral for a debt.  Generally, there is
no physical transfer of the pledged property
to the lender, nor is the lender given title
to the property;  though he has the right to 
sell the pledged property upon default.
Moore v. Wardlaw. C.C.A.Tex., 522 S.W.2d 552, 554.
See also Pledge;  Rehypothecation.

Rehypothecation.  To pledge to another or to 
transfer to another a note, goods, or other 
collateral which have been already pledged,
e.g. a broker may pledge securities pledged
to him by a customer (under e.g. a margin 
account) to finance his borrowings from a bank.
