What happens if an exchange extends credit?

There's a reason the perp exchanges have a fund, it's the capital that protects them from losing money on overleveraged customers. Or rather it's the rainy day fund that they lose out of when the delev happens.

Not sure this is related though, mechanics of today are not clear to me from what I've been able to find.
