McKinsey under Criminal Investigation

was just watching the episode about McKinsey on John Oliver recently and saw this pop up today on the WSJ. so...nothings gonna change, they just pay a fine and keep doing what they do best? get $ and 'advise' clients... tl;dr The Justice Department is investigating consulting firm McKinsey for its past role in advising opioid manufacturers on sales tactics. Prosecutors are also looking into potential obstruction of justice. McKinsey previously settled civil litigation without admitting wrongdoing. The criminal probe focuses on McKinsey's advice to Purdue, Endo, and Mallinckrodt, all facing lawsuits for alleged misleading marketing and fueling addiction. McKinsey suggested tactics like targeting high-prescribing doctors. The firm denies wrongdoing and ceased opioid-related work in 2019. Pharmaceutical marketing contributed to the opioid epidemic, with nearly 645,000 deaths from 1999 to 2021. Previous prosecutions include Purdue in 2007 and 2020, and Endo in 2024, with Mallinckrodt also under scrutiny. what's going on McKinsey folks... https://www.wsj.com/articles/mckinsey-faces-criminal-probe-over-opioid-related-consulting-a3f816d4?mod=hp_lead_pos1 https://youtu.be/AiOUojVd6xQ?si=-aMm-SxEDggrBijm #consulting

If doctors are the ones prescribing opioids and doing the actual distribution, doesn’t this imply that they are criminally liable as well?
