McKinsey is behind the majority of illegal mergers, the majority of pharma patent fraud, and the majority of illegal exclusive dealing cases. They keep asthma inhaler prices high, write strategy for ALL THREE Pharmacy Benefit Managers, and all five big defense contractors.

  Cutting Government Is Easy... If You Go After McKinsey
  from Matt Stoller
  Elon Musk engineered a panic over government spending, thwarting major PBM reform and bans on junk fees. But cutting government spending is easy, if you take on power. And therein lies the rub.
2. And now let’s move to McKinsey’s power over big business. It’s hard to find a big company that McKinsey doesn’t work for. McKinsey keeps its client list secret, but I got documents from bankruptcy filings showing who some of them are. And as it turns out, 68% of companies being sued by Federal enforcers over antitrust violations in the merger, Orange Book fraud, monopolization, or exclusive dealing are McKinsey clients. McKinsey works for the companies keeping the price of inhalers high to consumers (and the government), it works for the big three PBMs, all major big tech giants, and all five major prime defense contractors. It is the key vector for spreading bad business habits across sectors, through private equity firms and Wall Street, and into your neighborhood.
