Big banks are finding a way to benefit from what was supposed to be their punishment in the robo-signing scandal.
In Florida, they have spent 75 percent of $7.7 billion in settlement outlays approving short sales and forgiving home-equity loans, earning credit for debts they were unlikely to collect or sales that would have happened anyway, a monitor's report released Thursday shows.
