If the state got its money back, it means that money wasn't paid away in bonuses.

No, the state might have got a better return without bonuses (although I cant remember how the deal was structured). Mind you you could argue that getting a sweet deal like that deserves a bonus...

It is certainly a better deal than the Irish bailout, which will never be paid back and amounted to 100% of GDP.
