The fact of the matter is that Breslov was outed by all of the other Chassidic groups because of very puzzling statements attributed to Rabbi Nachman (he did not write any of his books – they were written in his name by his talmid Reb Natan). Among the charges were deviating form what had become traditional Chassidic views, thinking that he was Mashiach and claiming that he was greater than Moshe Rabbenu. Today the problem is magnified because anyone can call himself a Breslover and some subgroups have engaged in extremely questionable activities. While this is also true of Chabad to a certain extent they at least have an official bet din and organization which are very strong within the movement.
