Is Bain running out of money? A senior partner (at mck) mentioned to me that they were close to broke and Accenture was considering acquiring.... Sounds crazy to me but senior partners know everything?

They were definitely having the toughest time earlier this year of MBB given some of their industry focus areas and the fact that they are less globally diversified than McK and BCG but I would expect them to be doing fine at this point.

Senior Partners may be smart to have gotten where they are but usually they’re smart in a very specific sliver of the business world but extrapolate their knowledge to any domain they comment on in my experience including competitors :)

Hahaha Bain is doing fine. They have a massive cash cushion to fall back on. They hold a ton a cash as a result of almost going belly up back in the late 80s early 90s. Heard it’s enough to pay everyone they currently employ for a year even if they did no business.

That is an old rumor in circulation by McK partners since 2012. I am surprised that you just learned now.

May be if McKinsey gives Bain partners same rebates that you recommended Purdue Pharma, you may be able to buy them out.
