BlackRock is facing a $20 million lawsuit filed by former vice president Hamdan Azhar. Azhar, a purported whistleblower, alleges he was wrongfully terminated after creating a search engine tool designed to monitor illegal investments, including those in China. The lawsuit claims that BlackRock shut down the tool and retaliated against Azhar for raising concerns about self-dealing, corruption, and conflicts of interest within the asset management firm. Additionally, Azhar alleges a cover-up of the tool's ability to monitor client discussions about illegal investments.
