Reading the comments, I'm struck by how I read this scene totally differently to most of them. I see an overworked, annoyed young analyst sent to deal with two rich kids (starting a hedge fund with money they made 'taking boats down the river', then skipping the ISDA requirements by calling their neighbour) who are wasting everyone's time by not even doing the absolute minimum research -- it was 2006, just Google ISDA and you find out the requirements.

Also a security guard kicking out two men in suits from a lobby is just weirdly unrealistic.



To test this out, I googled ISDA capital requirements and sure enough it doesn't mention the capital requirements in any of the links I found (ymmv).

I think the issue is that they're bespoke transactions so the credit support required may change depending on the context.
