“Blackrock and Blackwater, not the same thing.”

Both were formed in the 80s by Blackstone Financial Management, but I don’t think there is a connection anymore.

No, Prince founded Blackwater in 1996.

Erik Prince founded Blackwater in the 1980’s. It changed names once in 2009 and was sold off to private investors in 2011. It is academi now. I haven’t been able to find any relationship with Blackstone.
