Since you don't take time to read the actual portion that states the payments to the states. I will post it for you so hopefully you can read it.
How much did walker so call steal? Was it the entire amount or was it the portion that could be designated as civil penalties?


VI. Payments to the States
The remaining settlement funds, approximately $2.5 billion, will be paid to the participating states.
The funds may be distributed by the attorneys general to foreclosure relief and housing programs,
including housing counseling, legal assistance, foreclosure prevention hotlines, foreclosure
mediation, and community blight remediation. A portion of the funds may also be designated as
civil penalties for the banks robo-signing misconduct
