The United Kingdom’s three-year ban on the powerful multinational corporation, Bain & Company, will probably go down in history as one of the best remedies to correct wrongdoing by big companies.

, UK Cabinet Minister responsible for Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency, “After reviewing Bain’s role in alleged state capture and corruption by the former government of South Africa, taking account of the evidence and conclusions of the South African Government Commission, the Minister for Government Efficiency considered Bain to be guilty of grave professional misconduct.
