Looming Run on Hedge Funds?

I just read this article on how part of this financial crises will involve a run on hedge funds. Any time industry performance is low there will be some redemptions, but I don't think there will be any massive industry-changing run on individual hedge fund managers. What are you seeing?

Here's the article:

The next stage will be a run on thousands of highly leveraged hedge funds. After a brief lock-up period, investors in such funds can redeem their investments on a quarterly basis; thus a bank-like run on hedge funds is highly possible. Hundreds of smaller, younger funds that have taken excessive risks with high leverage and are poorly managed may collapse. A massive shake-out of the bloated hedge fund industry is likely in the next two years. Source
