My two cents on the subject; the exact cause will never be known, and if it is known by the Navy you and I will never know. The missing puzzle piece here is what caused the Scorpion to exceed crush depth. Personally I don't buy into the "revenge" sinking for one reason. If a torpedo hit the Scorpion it would flood. If the pressure hull is full of water it can't be crushed.
