As a slight nitpick the US government did not sink any money during this ordeal. The Federal Reserve is not the US Government; it is our somewhat government affiliated private central bank.

Bailouts, which are likely to come, will be from the US government through the Treasury, however.

The Fed is a government organ. It is not a private entity. Its debts are the US government’s.
