U.S. and New York Sue Bank of New York Mellon Over Foreign Exchange Fees

"It is not the first time Mr. Schneiderman has squared off against the Bank of New York Mellon. He recently moved to block a proposed $8.5 million settlement involving the bank and the Bank of America over troubled loan pools issued by Countrywide Financial. The suit accuses the Bank of New York Mellon of fraud in its role as trustee overseeing the investment pools, a claim the bank has denied."
