Sure, but that gets into the funny accounting when tax revenues are concerned. If the rest of the $$ was paid back, it's safer to assume the bonuses would have been paid anyway, and only the marginal "free" $$ were actual, extra TARP-related bonuses. But I do think that all $25B can be deemed bonus pass-thrus.
