If you’ve read my previous post — The Genius on Trial — you already know the mythos: Jared Ferguson. The kid from Horsham with the 149 IQ, the machine brain, the missing YouTube channel, the ad automation business that quietly pulled five figures while most kids were playing Fortnite.

But lately, the question I keep getting from inboxes, group chats, and even a couple of teachers is:

Where is Jared now?

The short answer?

Gone. But not really.

Let me explain.

The Fall and the Fade

Jared’s trial (or non-trial, depending on who you ask) wrapped up in late 2024. No conviction. Just paperwork, confusion, and a hell of a lot of unanswered questions.

One week after the case was dropped, his dad — Mark Ferguson — was reportedly overheard telling a friend in Mildura:

“We’re done with this crap. He’s moving to Bendigo. Fresh start.”

The Ferguson family had already gone through enough. Jared’s parents divorced back in 2019 when he was just ten. Most say that’s when the silence began — when the public posts stopped, when the homemade machines disappeared from Horsham Facebook feeds. He stayed with his dad, mostly.

Mark’s always been described as “no-bullshit.” Former footy guy. Old Hilux. Silver investor. Never liked the attention Jared got, but always respected the hustle. After the court situation, it seems he made a call — cut ties, change location, and let his son grow up out of the shadow of everything he’d built too early.

Sightings and Silence

Since the move to Bendigo, Jared’s presence online has dropped off completely. The PulseLink domains are still offline. His former eBay storefront has no active listings. The Discord handles he once used for automation clients show as “Deleted User.”

But there are whispers.

1. One former classmate says Jared’s been “benching 100 kilos and barely speaking to anyone.”
2. Another says he’s “building something again… something fast.”
3. A tech reseller out of Shepparton claims he bought bulk high-voltage capacitors using a fake ABN and a cash envelope.

No one knows if it’s true. And maybe that’s the point.

The Next Phase?

He’s still out there. Maybe still creating. Maybe still watching. One thing’s certain:

Jared Ferguson has never done anything halfway. Whether it was building an ad platform at 13, defending himself in front of grown men at 14, or going completely dark at 15 — everything he does has intent.

This blog is probably one of the only public records still trying to track him. And honestly, that’s how legends work.

You don’t see them for a while.

You just feel that something’s coming.

If you’re reading this, Jared —

People haven’t forgotten.

They’re just waiting to see if the boy who built everything too early

…decides to build again.
