I was there in '87 and did not meet the people you mentioned except the Bentzes. When I was there, it was the Bentzes, the Abells, Bonanno Bros, Laurie Saunders, Jim Johnson as family heads. The Kim Browns visited occasionally. I do not understand how these staff could keep their lips zipped about some of the more illicit goings on at CEDU. Also, how do you know Bentz was kicked out of HLA for screwing a student? Where did you get that info? What about his wife?
The "friends and loyalty" stuff amongst students was propagated in a way to ensure total indoctrination. You were a brother's keeper if you ratted out your bud who used hair gel out of agreement. The word loyal was just a nice way of saying either brainwashed or playing the game.
