Two federal agencies have charged a former McKinsey & Co. partner with using inside information to profit on the acquisition of a fintech company by one of the firm’s clients: Goldman Sachs Group.
Puneet Dikshit, of New York City, learned of “highly confidential information” regarding an intended purchase by Goldman Sachs of GreenSky, a consumer loan fintech platform, as part of his duties, according to a press release Wednesday from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC did not identify the consulting firm, but McKinsey confirmed in an email Dikshit had been a partner prior to being fired.
