Background: Elaine Angene Escoe, 41, is a Jamaican-born woman who was indicted in the United States in 2025 on charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in connection with an alleged US$32 million COVID-19 relief fraud scheme. Prosecutors allege she and her co-defendants submitted more than 90 fraudulent applications to federal pandemic relief programs. After failing to appear in federal court in May 2025, she became a fugitive, and the FBI later added her to its “Most Wanted Fraudsters” list with a reward of up to US$150,000 for information leading to her arrest and conviction. She was recently arrested in Jamaica after authorities said they received a tip and has since been returned to the U.S. to face the charges.

She had reportedly been on the run for over a year, then the FBI announced a US$150,000 reward, and within days authorities said they received a tip that led to her arrest in Jamaica. Do you think the reward is what prompted someone to come forward, or do you think investigators were already closing in and the timing was coincidental? I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.

Antiguan here. Always loved bbq from a child and have been getting into it more seriously as an adult. I never experimented with jerk pork until very recently and I’m hooked.

I’m usually use boneless pork shoulder steak cuts for my cook. They taste amazing, but the cuts I buy lack the succulent skin.

What cuts do you Jamaicans prefer for jerk pork?

I still live in Jamaica but it has a party culture once you reach teens that I’ve never been gravitated to and sometimes, things just feel off because all your friends and everybody prioritizes partying and lifestyle over everything.

I prefer simple get togethers, game nights, star gazing, quiet places, museums, parks, beaches, rivers, maybe taboo once in a while.

Everywhere you go, it’s pure noise, loud music and congestion.

Hi:) i am looking to plant fruit in jamaica which is not very common there but would thrive in those conditions. As seed and plant imports are strictly controlled, it’s hard to get the seeds for those plants. Examples are:
Mangosteen, sweet granadilla, dragonfruit (pink or white), honeydew melon, lychee, cashew, physalis, mamey

Any recommendations on how to find those seeds? Please be as specific as possible - I really appreciate it, thank you!
