McKinsey & Company, an international consulting giant, is under criminal investigation for its role in helping drug companies maximize the sale of opioids. The investigation is led by the U.S. attorneys' offices in Massachusetts and the Western District of Virginia, in coordination with the department's civil division in Washington. Federal prosecutors are examining the consulting company's role in helping "turbocharge" the sale of painkillers like OxyContin. Since 2021, McKinsey has agreed to pay about $1 billion to settle investigations and lawsuits across the United States related to the firm's work with opioid makers, principally Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin. McKinsey recommended that Purdue "turbocharge" its sales of the drug in the midst of the opioid crisis, which has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. However, McKinsey has not admitted any wrongdoing. The article was published on April 24, 2024, and authored by Glenn Thrush, Michael Forsythe, and Walt Bogdanich. Glenn Thrush covers the Justice Department for The Times, while Michael Forsythe and Walt Bogdanich have been reporting on the consulting firm for years.Post by: ta988
