Aquino took advantage of LaVey's desire for attention and helped to promnote him in order to build up the CoS and introduce new members. LaVey had been failing there and was happy to have Aquino take charge wherever possible from behind the scenes. Aquino used the CoS as a starting point for acquiring dedicated/serious followers that he could then siphon off when he was ready. It appears that the whole association Aquino had with LaVey was part of a military-grade psyop. This comes clear when you look at the timeline. Aquino had just started training as a psychological warfare specialist when he first learned about LaVey in 1968 (saw him promoting himself outside a movie theatre), and a year later he went looking him up, immediately after having finished training as a Psychological Operations officer at Ft. Bragg. This is also when Aquino started practicing satanism on his own. It seems to me that Aquino was assigned to the task. It was to be a cover for other (illegal) operations. LaVey was used as far as he could be and then abandoned when he was no longer needed.
