sorry to hear your story

In affidavit Bank states that we "cashed" money orders. In banking industry is "cashed" the exact same as "deposited?"
If you deposited the checks into an account that you can draw money off of I think that would be the same as cashing them . . . think of it this way, it is like you cashed them and then handed the cash to someone else to hold on to.

Have lawyer. Case pending. Attorney feels that case will be dropped.
I agree with your lawyer. When the victims get a lawyer, these cases usually get dropped. I know a lawyer in MN who got a case like this dropped with a couple phone calls and one court appearance.
Since you have a lawyer, just make sure that any time the bank contacts you to talk about this you tell them to contact your lawyer.
