That is true. All organization have some corrupt people. But it is
the degree that matters. Adyar TS also has it, but less.

There is no need of that. I will get it in future, it is not urgent.

My judgement is Pasadena TS or any other organization, except Adyar
TS, was never considered as Theosophical Society by the Masters.
Masters considered Adyar TS as only TS founded by Them. So other
organizations will come and get vanished. ES was closed by Pasadena
TS because it was never Masters' organization. Adyar TS continued
because it has Masters' blessing. Adyar TS is also not in best
condition and I would expect it to improve in some areas. But it
will continue as Masters have blessed it and will continue to work
through it.
