They didn't just return the unused money back to the government. They used other borrowed money the government gave them to repay the first loan.

"I think the one thing that a lot of people overlook with this is where they got the money to pay back the loan. And it isn't from earnings. ... It's actually from another pool of TARP money that they've already received," he said Wednesday. "I don't think we should exaggerate it too much. Remember that the source of this money is just other TARP money."

So basically that would be the same as you using your American Express to pay your Visa bill and than saying you are financially responsible.
