What if you can’t cover your margin call


Say you short a stock and it goes up a lot. Then you get a margin call, and are forced to deposit money. If you can't do it, do you go in negative balance to the brokerage, or do they use your money in your account to buy shares and close the position? Is this how that short squeeze happened?
