Professor Linus Wilson has put together this helpful chart showing exactly how the bailout went down, complete with which banks got how much.
Two things stand out: The Treasury's overpayment for preferred stock was a crucial part of the bailout, and though Goldman Sachs is usually held up as the bad guy here, SocGen received $2.5 billion more.
Hope the Europeans appreciate your (the taxpayer) ponying up.
