"Real Smart Guys" Lose Very Bigly

This outfit, like a few others, is too 'smart' for its own good.

...McKinsey & Company, an international management consulting firm that advised Purdue Pharma to “turbocharge”  sales of Oxycontin during the height of the opioid crisis, entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) that will require the firm to pay a $650 million settlement over five years....

Otherwise it would face criminal charges.

Which means that the outfit IS criminal, but has Smart Guy Privilege:  lots of cash.

Sadly, fines are considered a cost of business. It should be jail time.
