Both of them clearly, emphatically, and repeatedly violated the four Power Principles Prof Dacher Keltner characterized as Abuse of Power. And in so doing, for both of them, it brought about their downfall. Throughout the history of online exposure of the EVILS of The Way International there have been extensive records, FIRST HAND, of abuse suffered/endured by women AND men, especially in Way Corps settings. The records are extensive and, as I said, many are first hand. They can be analyzed in exquisite detail and in doing so VPW and LCM (and lesser minions and wannabes) and instances/details of which illustrate and illuminate said empathy deficits, diminished moral sentiments, self-serving impulsivity, incivility and disrespect and most definitely narratives of exceptionalism. These descriptions were not the exception, but rather, the rule. Otherwise known as features of the system, not incidental or accidental by-products of personal flaws. Not only... But Wierwille dedicated his life to building this exceptionally dysfunctional cult. In doing so, his PRIVATE INTERPRETATION of key scriptures became such a self-justifying rationalization (i.e. lockbox and associated nonsense meant to keep his evil conduct secret) that it became part of the doctrine and/or unwritten code of conduct aka mores throughout. Wierwille lost his influence (power) by dying. Loy's power slipped away due to LIGHT SHINING on his conduct. Waydale and GSC made it so many people could rightly sing: So, I don't know that how "rapidly" they lost their power and influence, but they were most definitely their own worst enemies. Perhaps neither of them had much of a grasp on what Paul meant in 1 Corinthians 9:27, but Keltner certainly has some insight.
