New York State Attorney General to Bank of America: Get out of my investigation! “We respectfully request that the court reject Bank of America’s continued efforts to stymie the attorney general’s investigation,” Cuomo said in a letter to a New York State Supreme Court judge. Cuomo is investigating Merrill Lynch’s payment of $3.6 billion in bonuses in late December and has subpoenaed seven bonus recipients. BofA is trying to prevent their testimony.
