Yeah, but I think the issue here is they liquidated all his positions and closed his account instead of just the ones that would cover the margin call.

It doesn't look like they had enough to cover the margin call even after liquidating everything though, that's why he's in the negatives. He only had $5k to begin with; when he's down $55k, he doesn't get to keep anything.
