Alix v. McKinsey & Co., Inc., No. 20-2548 (2d Cir. 2022)
Annotate this CaseThe Second Circuit vacated the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's amended complaint against McKinsey and others under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). The complaint alleged that McKinsey filed false and misleading disclosure statements in the bankruptcy court to obtain lucrative consulting appointments and that, as a result, AlixPartners LLP lost business and profits it otherwise would have secured. The court concluded that the amended complaint plausibly alleges proximate cause with respect to all 13 bankruptcies in which McKinsey filed false statements as well as the pay-to-play scheme. Accordingly, the court remanded for further proceedings.
