C'mon now...

If they can't charge all that money to be wrong. How can they pay the US government the $722,000,000.00 they owe?

The Justice Department said McKinsey Africa had received credit for cooperating with its investigation and conducting anti-corruption training for employees. The $122,850,000 McKinsey has agreed to fork up includes a penalty it will pay in South Africa.

McKinsey is also in talks with the Justice Department to pay more than $600 million to resolve a separate investigation into the consulting firm's work helping opioid manufacturers boost sales that allegedly contributed to a deadly addiction epidemic, people familiar with the matter have told Reuters.

You think Purdue Pharma could have made all those drug addicts customers without McKinsey pushing pills for them?

Won't some think of the Billionaires stock portfolios!

    Fair, but like, nothing sells itself like opiates. [I'm actually aware they're the ones who encouraged the massive ad campaign focused on claiming oxycontin isn't addictive, though given Sackler previous behavior I believe in their ability to figure that strategy out on their own]
