Well here are the cold hard facts
1. The bank fronted you the money and you spent it, you owe the bank and need to make payment to them or payment arrangements to pay the balance owed off. There is no way around this.
2. You are in a position that is not too cool, let me explain. Though they were fake money orders you did cash them as payment from the scammers sent to you, you did spend the money and did not wire the money back to them as instructed. Though I do not agree that these thieves should get one red cent, you put yourself in a bad position spending the money on other than what it was intended for. Right or wrong in the eyes of the law you did something illegal.
Your best bet is to pay the bank and get this behind you as fast as you can and in the future do not trust strangers to pay by any form of money order, check, cashiers check or bank wire. Good ole cashola is how you should deal with people.
It is easy to get taken in by someone's sob story and demand for help cashing checks, but you must say NO NO NO from here on out.
