I think he was forced to recant and apologize or else be excommunicated.

We can see the fruits of the ISKCON lineage as it branches off in many directions. JAS is still obsessed about Kirtan standards.

Others pursue their own personality cults. Fall-downs continued after this.

Some temples are poor and struggle. Others are very rich. But there is an "I got mine...you get yours" mentality.

Its all so disappointing.

@jurjenvanderhoek316 This is exactly what Srila Prabhupada said

"Only Hindus and Hinduism respects all religions."

You surely jest. Christian missionaries are persecuted, and beaten in India by Hindus.

Srila Prabhupada did not respect "Hindu" impersonalists

@riteshchatterjee8536 There were many miscreants in ISKCON. Sociopaths, narcissists, pedophiles, drug addicts. It was by Srila Prabhupadas grace that so many were put on the path of Krishna Consciousness, but the transformation was partial.

Murder, criminality, debauchery, violence, and more were all there. Persistent suspicions have always been in the undercurrent of highly placed individuals leaving ISKCON with millions in their pockets.

It is a sad history. In the USA ISKCON is a shadow of its former self.
