Members of Michael Protzman’s conspiracy cult abandoned their families and spent their life savings to follow him to Trump rallies around the country.

Michael Protzman, leader of a JFK-QAnon cult, known as Negative 48, has died following a dirt bike accident.

Protzman, who had tens of thousands of followers on Telegram, promoted conspiracy theories that John F. Kennedy and his son JFK Jr. were still alive. After a failed prediction of their reappearance in Dallas, he altered his conspiracy narratives to keep his followers invested.

His followers, many of whom abandoned families and depleted their savings, still believe in his conspiracies and some think his death is part of a grand plan. A follower has proposed herself as Protzman’s successor, and while some predict new conspiracies surrounding his death, others believe his following will gradually move on to other influencers.
