Can you provide any form of evidence in support of this? I've been made aware of a bunch of individuals fitting the name Jesus and behaving in a messianic style who were eventually taken in by the Romans... but I've yet to be confronted with actual evidence of the existence of Jesus of Nazareth, at least in the sense of anything resembling his portrayal of his biblibcally bad self.

Anyone who can actually provide some form of evidence to support this claim from a credible resource has my thanks, as I've yet to have any valid claims for his existence brought to my attention.
