He wasn't in a scandal for being too good at pickup. He was in a scandal for being a misogynistic predator who was a danger to women.

Now, that's not my opinion, that was how he was generally perceived after the video of his seminar went viral. In it, he told a story of how he laid a woman, and "blamed her" for the seduction.

He got a lot of publicised hate for that.

I know he's reinvented his presentation and offerings, but ultimately you shouldn't need to pay for self-development. Take responsibility for yourself.
