Dead Messiah Receives Awareness Center Page
He proclaimed himself to be the messiah. He was followed rabidly by throngs of supporters, including major rabbis, worldwide. He died leaving the world unredeemed. His followers still idolize him; some even worship him. And, now, he has an Awareness Center page all his own.
so where are his followers?

Some live in Turkey, have a low-key posture, fear being outed, look and behave like Muslims but do certain Jewish things. I'm frankly not sure--I personally doubt-- if there any people alive who revere this man today, but yes, there are a few left of his original fans.

Silly me, I thought you were referring to the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Then I remembered -- he's still alive.

Then there's the supermarket messiah- Shoprite Tzvi.

He's been on the site a looong time. Part of Vicki's own denial complex... clutching at any straws to defend her Oprah blood libel.

Google Donmeh West. These are Shabbatians of the internet. Does anybody know any Turkish out there? Google Ilgaz Zorlu, a Shabbatian who is pretty public about it. Also, read Caught in the Crack by Alpert.
