Police in the Philippines announced on Friday that they are searching for a group of gunmen who are suspected to have kidnapped an American YouTuber from a remote village.
Police identified the victim, who was shot in the leg by the armed gang dressed in all black and whisked away in a speedboat, as 26-year-old Elliot Onil Eastman from Vermont, Daily Mail reports. Although police did not provide any further background information on Eastman, he is believed to be a famous YouTuber from the United States with the same name, whose social media shows he moved to Sibuco, Zamboanga del Norte to marry a local Muslim woman this past year.
A bio in a YouTube channel belonging to ElliotBeastman read: “Hello everyone I’m Elliot Eastman, I am 26 years old and I came to the Philippines about a year and half ago where I met the love of my life deep in the mountains of the red zone of the Philippines. Zamboanga del Norte is a recently developed area of the Philippines that was once only accessible by boat. I will be showing you my day to day life as the first and only foreigner to have ever lived here in sibuco for a long period of time. I am from the USA!”
A resident of Sibuco, Abdulmali Hamsiran Jala, told police that four men armed with M16 rifles posed as police as they tried to forcibly take Eastman. When the victim tried to escape, one of them shot him in the leg and dragged him into a speedboat which fled south toward the provinces of Basilan or Sulu, according to police. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
