Their secrets are just scandals that haven’t come out yet.
By which I don’t mean that all EA leaders are doing scandalous things, but that you’d expect some percentage of them to do so in these conditions, and if the percentage you’ve heard of is lower, my guess is that the rest just hasn’t been publicized.
For example, look at the case of Owen Cotton-Barratt (which I wouldn’t exactly describe as a scandal, but still). It took years between the events happening and being revealed.
