It was done by a Federal Reserve currency injection with the Swiss Central Bank. The Swiss bank then used the US dollars to bail out UBS.

The deal was done in the middle of the US financial meltdown, and since it was the Fed acting in private, it did not get much media attention.

What ever UBS was paying Phil, he earned his money several times over.
