For many yidden, the whole concept of various mosdos “selling segulahs” in the name of Tzadikim promising everything from miracle cures to marriages to resolution of IRS disputes reeks of goiyeshe new age apikorsus. But its a free country and there is no law against scamming some simple minded or desparate yid. I suspect you could find a photo of some “rebbeshe” looking guy from the Alte Heim, create a chassidus under some silly made-up name, and be fairly successful selling segulos online.
