Lawsuit alleges that executives at firm Gross founded 40 years ago plotted to remove him in power struggle that preceded his departure last year

The suit, filed on Thursday in Orange County, California, alleges that Pimco executives plotted to remove Gross in an internal power struggle that eventually led to him leaving the company in September 2014.

Didn’t Bill Gross pull out of bonds completely a few years back, and then jump right back into them after realizing he made a mistake?

Or, was that someone else?
