Who's Paid Back What

All good philanthropies distinguish between their most elite donors and their less-important ones, who give in smaller amounts. That's why here at The Big Money, we've decided to suggest some standards for those financial institutions who have paid the Treasury back and who we're tracking with our TARP-o-Meter feature. Check out the names of the banks that have been kind enough to promptly return their share of TARP funds, how much they've given back, and the donor classes their contributions afforded them. (Note: All participants in TARP received a thank-you basket including example balance sheets and a lifetime supply of pocket calculators. We hope.)
