Julian Brown's final social media post
In Brown's last Instagram post before he went missing, he was seen saying in a video that some 'very, very, odd stuff' was going on that "I'm certainly under attack.' He added that could not 'go into so much detail,' and urged his followers to have their 'eyes open.' He added that he was still 'working' and 'building,' and nothing was going to stop that.

Julian Brown's invention
Brown's groundbreaking invention, Plastoline, is a machine that transforms old plastics into useful fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Brown was concerned about environmental problems as a teenager, and spent years experimenting and perfecting the product, according to y!entertainment.
In a March 2025 interview with Bold Journey, Brown shared that the main obstacle in his 'plastic to fuel mission' was lack of proper funding. 'I simply refuse to go down the traditional venture capital investment route,' he said. 'I believe this technology has major implications for all of humanity, only in the right hands.'
Brown added, 'Diluting much of my ownership and equity early on just for the idea of a smoother path to monetary goals never ser right with me. I believe I can utilize the power of the internet, the power of democracy, and the power of perseverance to garner all funds I need. I have continued to search for and apply to grants. I am always looking for ways to expand my reach. I have just launched JABAROMA, an all natural products brand.'

Dehradun: A 35-year-old man from Chhattisgarh was arrested on Saturday for allegedly cheating a retired Subedar major of the Army Medical Corps of ₹34.17 lakh through a fake foreign investment scheme, Uttarakhand Police said. Har Vilas Nandi, a resident of Chhattisgarh's Durg district, is allegedly the mastermind of an international cybercrime gang, according to the cyber cell of Uttarakhand Police. (Sourced) Har Vilas Nandi, a resident of Chhattisgarh's Durg district, is allegedly the mastermind of an international cybercrime gang, according to the cyber cell of Uttarakhand Police. Police have seized foreign currency of the UAE, Oman, and the USA, along with an Aadhaar card, PAN card, ATM card, UAE resident card, and a mobile phone from him. 'Nandi lived in Dubai for 10 years. His Facebook and email IDs were created in Dubai, and the email ID linked to his bank account was being operated from the Philippines. The fraudulently obtained money was traced to his bank account and later withdrawn in Dubai,' senior superintendent of police (SSP) of the Special Task Force (STF) Navneet Singh Bhullar said.

'In just one month, transactions totalling over ₹3.46 crore were observed in the accused's account. He also lured labourers in Chhattisgarh into selling their bank accounts for ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh, which he later used for fraudulent transactions,' SSP Bhullar said. Nandi, who was on the run for a long time, had been hiding in the Naxal-affected Dantewada region. After monitoring his movements using technical surveillance, Nandi was arrested from Chhattisgarh's Bhilai. He was brought to Dehradun on transit remand, the officer said. SSP Bhullar said that police began investigating after a retired Subedar Major of the Army Medical Corps lodged a complaint in 2024, stating that he was cheated of ₹34.17 lakh in the name of investment with a foreign investor company, Apollo India Private Equity (IV) (Mauritius) Ltd.

'A woman named Jasleen Kaur had posed as the group's trading assistant and a man posing as a customer service manager provided account details for payments. The complainant was convinced to fill a registration form and eventually invested a total of ₹34.17 lakh in multiple transactions. A mentor named John Peter Hussain also conducted trading sessions with him,' SSP Bhullar said. 'Relevant data regarding bank accounts, WhatsApp communications, and mobile numbers were obtained through correspondence with banks, service providers, and Meta. The data analysis revealed the name of the accused behind the fraud. His email ID was operating from the Philippines, while his social media accounts were Dubai-based. Money from the victim's account was traced to further layers and withdrawn in Dubai,' SSP Bhullar added. A First Information Report (FIR) was lodged, and a team led by Sub-Inspector Rajesh Dhyani began investigating.
