Reporting from New York - A federal judge who rejected the government’s first bid to settle civil charges against Bank of America Corp. showed little enthusiasm Monday for a new proposed settlement.

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff sharply questioned the merits of the latest proposal, which calls for the company to pay $150 million to resolve allegations that it lied to shareholders at the height of the financial crisis about its pending acquisition of brokerage Merrill Lynch.
