They paid TARP back but not the AIG backdoor bailout, iirc. That's the reason for the continuing brouhaha over AIG - Goldman (and other AIG counterparties) got 100% of what they had at risk with AIG, no haircut, all via the US govt bailout, and didn't pay it back (b/c it wasn't paid directly to them in the first place, hence 'backdoor' bailout).
