    Most of us have heard of Blackrock. We may have viewed their financial ads or one of their ads about their philanthropic activities or might have heard them referenced in several conspiracy theories. We might have heard that the last two would-be Trump assassins had been featured in a Blackrock ad, or we might have heard that it is Blackrock that is buying up all the affordable homes on the planet, taking them off the market and renting them out, thus ensuring that regular people will not be able to ever own their own homes. We might have heard a lot of things about Blackrock, but do we know how it works?

    I have heard most of those things also, and the last thing that someone posted on X was that Blackrock is filing for bankruptcy for some reason. I have not seen that posted by anyone else or any verification, so I think it is probably not true. They seem to be doing pretty well financially.

    If they are filing for bankruptcy, that would be because it gave them a financial advantage somehow.
