The Chabad Mafia: Crime, Fraud, and Drug Trafficking (NotebookLM)
View the Full ArticleInfo Source: https://www.chabad-mafia.com/The provided texts collectively present a critical and highly negative perspective on the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, portraying it as a deviant cult rather than a legitimate branch of Judaism. A central theme is the messianic belief in the deceased Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson as the Messiah, with some followers even considering him divine, which is explicitly called idolatry and a heresy by various sources and prominent rabbis. The documents accuse Chabad of widespread criminal activities, including drug trafficking, money laundering, financial fraud, and child abuse, claiming these actions generate anti-Semitism. Furthermore, the sources allege a disturbing history of the movement during the Holocaust, asserting that its leader prioritized personal and institutional gain over rescuing Jews and even justified the Holocaust as a divine "surgery."
