Hello! Many thanks for this and flagging up Mc-Kin-sey. I like anagrams of course and note 'scam money pyknic' one of McKkinsey & company (I have ignored the '&'. pyknic is a word I had not come across before but means 'Having a short stocky physique'.

The top longest single word is Pyocyanine, although the 'e' isn't used in Wikipedia article.

The substance is a toxic compound. It would be, McKinsey & company are toxic.

If we say the '&' is 'and then the we can get 'canny smoky pandemic or even 'any knop ny scamdemic'.

As a company it has been full of scandals.

Anyway, many thanks again.

Thank you, Baldmichael. I always enjoy seeing what you come up with in your anagrams. Sometimes the evidence of chicanery is right in front of us in a name—Bettina Experton, MD, MPH, mentioned in a Coffee & Covid post recently—and sometimes you have to tease it out (tease as in untangle).
