A Bank of America executive has accused her employer of misleading trading clients, in a lawsuit in which she called the bank a “bros club” and said it discriminated against her for being a woman.

The lawsuit by Megan Messina, 42 years old and a managing director in Bank of America's structured credit products division, said that when she raised concerns about her treatment and allegedly questionable treatment of clients, the bank tried to push her out. She is now on administrative leave.
