> I don't think the fact that KPMG ran it is necessarily the key thing here

Agreed, and I also didn't mean to suggest that, but I am still surprised that Troy made of himself such a fool by hiring KPMG for really anything. He's a tiny one person business/sole trader, there is absolutely nothing which KPMG could do for him which another professional couldn't have done much more effective, cheaper and faster.

KPMG are most foremost sales people. They did what they are trained well to do, make him feel bigger than he is. "Why don't we introduce you to our <whatever we wanna rip you off with> team", "have a seat mr. hunt", "want a galss of this amazing champage whilst my sexy secretary calls for the big boss to talk to you?". LOL They totally got him. I'm sorry but that's really really foolish and I sort of lost a bit of respect for him there as soon as he mentioned KPMG ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
