NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge has dismissed National Football League star Dwight Freeney's lawsuit against Bank of America Corp and a stockbroker, ruling that Freeney sued the wrong parties in alleging that he was defrauded of more than $20 million.
The pass rusher and seven-time NFL Pro Bowler sued the bank, its Bank of America N.A. subsidiary and Merrill Lynch financial adviser Michael Bock in February. He asserted that Bock's brokerage team in Miami Beach, Florida, exaggerated its financial management skills and business expertise.
