A young inventor from metro Atlanta, Julian Brown , has gone missing for nearly two weeks shortly after he posted a cryptic message that he was "certainly under attack". Brown recently rose to fame for his ingestion of 'Plastoline' a technology that converts plastics into gasoline or other usable fuels like diesel, jet fuel etc. Brown, on his social media, posted that some "very, very odd stuff" was happening to him and he was "certainly under attack".
This tell-tale post was shared from his account on July 9. He asked his followers to keep their eyes open as he could not reveal anything else at that time. He said he was still working and building and nothing would stop him.
Social media users raised alarm that something bad might have happened to Julian because of what he was creating. "The influencer and scientist Julian Brown also known as naturejab did not post anything after around 2 weeks. His last post was a leak of his drivers license. He produced gasoline out of plastic waste and was concerned people will try to stop him," one wrote. FBI director Kash Patel and deputy director Dan Bongino were tagged on social media posts urging the FBI leadership to look for Julian Brown.
Not much is known about the disappearance of the young inventor. It is also not confirmed whether his disappearance is only from social media as there is no report of any missing report filed so far.

One particular video of Julian Brown is doing the rounds in which he said he won't live long and that's why he puts every minute into building and into growing.
