McKinsey Reputation After Gupta

Jeff Skilling, and now Rajat Gupta. I was wondering if the "track record" of ex- senior McKinsey employees doing less than honorable work will make future clients more reserved to hire them? Would this affect future engagement flow? Would this do current McKinsey analysts a disservice when applying to Bschools where they almost always ask you about "ethics" and stuff like that?
