Bank of America faces bonus trial
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8268160.stm
<snip>
The US regulator has confirmed it will sue Bank of America over charges that it misled investors about bonuses when it acquired Merrill Lynch.

Bank of America saved Merrill from collapse at the height of the financial crisis, after saying no bonuses would be paid without shareholder approval.

But up to $5.8bn (£3.4bn) in bonuses were later authorised.
