Bloomberg has a great interactive visualization on their site cataloging the over $1.2Trillion in public money that the U.S. Federal Reserve gave to various banks and companies during the financial crisis. Digging through 29,000 pages of secret documents and spreadsheets, they found 21,000 loans and compiled this fantastic database. The graphs show not only the sheer magnitude of the loans, but how the loans correspond in time to the collapse of several big-name entities, such as the shown above graph of Lehman Brothers.
