The first major investigation into McKinsey ran a year ago. Here's the NYT's explainer about it: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/19/reader-center/mckinsey-hedge-fund-reporting-investigation.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/19/reader-center/mckinsey-he... > *The most basic question we set out to answer was this: Did McKinsey’s pristine reputation as the foremost purveyor of “best practices” match its record? After nearly a year of reporting, we found that the answer was often no. Every recent ICE investigation is related to an ongoing major story: - Chinese global economic policy: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/15/world/asia/mckinsey-china-russia.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/15/world/asia/mckinsey-china... - The opioid crisis: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/01/business/purdue-pharma-mckinsey-oxycontin-opiods.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/01/business/purdue-pharma-mc... - ICE: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/03/us/mckinsey-ICE-immigration.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/03/us/mckinsey-ICE-immigrati... - Rikers Island prison: https://twitter.com/i_m_m/status/1204793794975141890 https://twitter.com/i_m_m/status/1204793794975141890 The more recent spate of McKinsey articles are related to the fact that Pete Buttigieg has entered the top tier of presidential candidates, and McKinsey is his third other job on the resume. It's not tough to believe if the investigative hypothesis is correct: that McKinsey is the goto consulting firm trusted by the world's most powerful governments and companies when it comes to decisionmaking.
