In total, $53.12 billion in loans were repaid. The original amount of the loan to a portfolio called Maiden Lane III LLC, created to buy the securities, repay debt and provide capital for some of AIG’s operations, was $24.3 billion. Another $28.82 billion in loans, set up through a portfolio named Maiden Lane LLC, which helped facilitate Bear Stearns’ takeover by JPMorgan Chase & Co. were also repaid. The loans were repaid through asset sales.
