Certainly Goldman or whoever did not give their TARP money to the Swiss...if you mean bonuses of execs going to their personal Swiss bank accts, well....even if some did, it was a miniscule amount. Most bankers are not fat cats - most are just upper middle class bordering on rich - definitely not secret Swiss bank account worthy people. Not sure if AIG was a counterparty for UBS, but if they were, then UBS may have gotten money from the Fed indirectly this way (by having AIG post collateral on their CDS contracts), though that is not TARP money either - AIG is its own animal - one big nast mofo. I don't think I remember seeing UBS as one of the counterparties though. I see this list actually (from a FrenchieCat post):
* Goldman Sachs
* Deutsche Bank
* Merrill Lynch
* Société Générale
* Calyon
* Barclays
* Rabobank
* Danske
* HSBC
* Royal Bank of Scotland
* Banco Santander
* Morgan Stanley
* Wachovia
* Bank of America
* Lloyds Banking Group
