Jeff Bezos and Amazon.comâs (NASDAQ:AMZN) board of directors were hit with a shareholder lawsuit alleging they did not fully vet a decision to award contracts for the company's Project Kuiper satellite project to Blue Origin, Bezos's space company.
The lawsuit was filed by Cleveland Bakers and Teamsters Pension Fund earlier this week, Reuters reported. 
The shareholder says that Amazon awarded contracts worth billions of dollars to Blue Origin and did not consider Elon Muskâs SpaceX as an alternative launch provider.
It was the second largest capital expenditure after its $13.7B Whole Foods acquisition, Reuters said.
Project Kuiperâs satellites are set to beam internet to remote regions, which Starlink also does.
Amazon told Reuters the claims are without merit.
