I wouldn't really call this a scandal, just one of those hypocritical games the Society loves to play.
Bible Students have long been dubbed the "Evil Slave Class" as oppose to the Society being viewed as the "Faithful Slave Class."
Jehovah's Witnesses for the most part have been told that Bible Students are evil, apostate and condemned to death, besically their in the same boat as the UN and the rest of Babylon the great. A group to be avoided, so why did the Society do business with the Evil Slave class for so many years? You tell me!
