I see no one countered your specificity, kabar.

So the question is [I guess], how much loan money was defaulted? And I’m asking around: does the Fed get freshly printed currency? Or is it involved in quantitative easing?

There were no losses by the Fed given the swap arrangements. They just hold the foreign currency and can exchange it back at the fixed rate it provided the dollars.
