Gross sued Pimco and its parent Allianz SE for $200 million last month, claiming he was wrongfully ousted by a "cabal" of executives who wanted his share of the bonus pool.
In the complaint filed in the California Superior Court, Gross said Pimco managing directors were "driven by a lust for power, greed, and a desire to improve their own financial position and reputation" in their ultimately successful effort to drive him out.
