One of the biggest secrets of the financial crisis was disclosed Thursday when the Federal Reserve released thousands of pages of data showing heavy discount-window borrowing by foreign banks, regional U.S. banks and institutions fighting for survival.

It was the first time the Fed has given details about banks that borrowed from the central bank's oldest emergency-lending facility. Thursday's move was forced by lawsuits filed by Bloomberg LP's Bloomberg News and News Corp.'s Fox Business Network, and last year's Dodd-Frank law requires the Fed to disclose future borrowings after a two-year lag. Details of other rescue programs by the Fed were made public in December.

Libya-Owned Bank Got 73 Loans From Fed Window After Lehman Fell

That's in the 18 months after Lehman fell. I wonder if it got any money in addition after that 18 month period.

I assume that all of that Libyan loan, as is usual for that part of the world, conveniently disappeared in part or in whole into various open pockets.

The loans were fully collateralized. And repaid.

That foreign banks were given US taxpayer funds

[sigh] The Fed doesn't use taxpayer funds. Short term (and repaid) loans aren't gifts.
