State prosecutors are offering big banks an expensive Get Out of Lawsuits Free card. Prosecutors have offered a variety of banks caught up in the “robosigning” scandal immunity from some litigation in exchange for a total of $10 billion to $25 billion in penalties, the Financial Times reports. Some officials think the immunity being offered is far too broad; as written, it could potentially free the banks from lawsuits related to their securitization practices, or at least impede cases related to it.....snip~

The Fed goes after them then the states turn around and give them Immunity. What gives? :o

Depends on the State...part of the issue I think is that if the states agree to this one time payment then the banks have free license to go back to the robo-foreclosures, which means there will be a ton more houses available and the real estate market will drop off a cliff.
