With all the overdose deaths and the lives ruined by opioids, I guess I'm a little bit surprised this didn't result in criminal charges for someone at McKinsey. Surely there must be some emails or texts that are inculpating.

As long as you hide behind a corporation, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Worst case, the company will pay a nominal fine as cost of doing business. And maybe somebody gets fired with a large severance.

  Well, until a good looking 20-something year old man puts a couple bullets in your chest outside an investor meeting.

    Not going to be "the norm" nor will there be an endless stream of vigilantes available to deter this level of sociopathy. Assassinations are obviously not the way we want society to work either, violence to settle grievances etc, no good. The only way I think we could hope to stem the tide of this level of corruption is through education. I believe it's really in the ruling classes interest to keep as people as dumb as possible though, so I don't think it will happen. Not sure what else the alternatives could be. Societal collapse?

    But then someone has to sacrifice their life to create some justice. Much better for it to be a part of the system. Jail for criminal executives.

      As killings get normalized they will be more difficult to be caught. Less point blank pistoling, more IEDs and long range rifles is our future imo. The veil has been pierced for at least some people.

Did you intentionally not read the article? > According to Kavanaugh, former McKinsey senior partner Martin Elling "personally deleted various Purdue related electronic materials from his McKinsey laptop with the intent to obstruct future investigations." DOJ officials said Elling has agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of obstruction of justice for destroying those company records. You might've been too busy trying to force "inculpating."

  Those are not charges for the mass murder they have supported. They are charges for not following procedure. There is a huge difference.

    We're calling felony obstruction/coverup charges "not following procedure" and not related to the principal/McKinsey's actions? This is some mental gymnastics. It was pay a fine or go to jail, but at best, the parent's comment was still wrong.

      Giving it a fancy name don't make it equivalent to the murder charges it should have been.
