And here is my favourite part.....

I want to show you something. In case you don’t quite understand what unregulated means: You and I can make a derivative agreement right now for $1 billion. We merely take a napkin and scribble a note which we both sign to say bet on a currency between us, and the total amount we ‘wager’ is $1 billion. One or both of us put up a minute amount of capital behind our bet, say $1000. And depending on how things go, we agree that if the gain/loss exceeds that, we roll it forward, but eventually will have to settle at the end. At first, all that is risked is $1000 each. But there is upside and down side of up to $1 billion total exposure (this is the notional value or amount leveraged).
