While I know nothing of the teachers you mention above, I studied (for a bit) a branch of Buddhism that had scandal linked to it. I drifted away for other reasons.
Scandals seem to be linked to many human-led religions; and here, discernment and wisdom can serve one well.
It reminds me of this quote from Ra: "The adept, then, is working with the power of hidden things illuminated by that which can be false or true. To embrace falsity, to know it, to seek it, and to use it gives a power that is most great. This is the nature of the power of your visitor and may shed some light upon the power of one who seeks in order to serve others as well, for the missteps in the night are oh! so easy." (80)
I wonder: could these spiritual teachers fall prey, like any of us may, to the allure of falsity?
I consider religious and spiritual philosophies as a buffet presented to me. I sample a bit of this dish and that dash; I enjoy what I like and leave the rest, based on my resonances. I patch and quilt together.
Having said that, Law of One presents a tapestry that most resonates with me. It synchs up (overlays) very well with the patchwork that I had quilted together thus far. Beyond this, Law of One also provides new avenues of exploration and discoveries for me.
It seems that we are each endowed with what I might graphically refer to as a "BS detector." It's unique for each of us; it's that place where we become uneasy, skeptical, or turned-off with something that's presented to us ... some catalyst that we encounter.
My body says, "whoa, Nelly!" I get a queasy feeling in my stomach, for example. When I override, or disregard this internal warning, I usually find myself on a rocky and difficult path.
This is not intended to be a remark on those teachers mentioned above, for I know nothing of them. It's, instead, a general observation of my personal experiences of having listened to my own resonances, and also, having ignored or over-riden them.
(ha ha) There has been some rich catalyst down those hard roads. 
Perhaps others have similar sensations, experiences ...
