Austin St. John Charged with Fraud (My Thoughts)
113Hello Recorders!
The Department of Justice has named 18 people in a federal indictment, charging them with violations of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in the Eastern District of Texas, and the group of 18 defendants includes Mighty Morphin Power Rangers star Austin St. John. St. John, whose real name is Jason Lawrence Geiger, is the show's original Red Ranger, and while we are still waiting for more details on the charges, the release from U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston says that the 18 defendants have either been arrested or summoned for appearance before a federal magistrate judge. If convicted, the 18 charged could be facing up to 20 years in prison.
According to the indictment, Geiger is alleged to have been a part of a scheme to defraud lenders and the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Michael Hill is alleged to have recruited others to use an existing business or create a business to submit applications to obtain PPP funding, and on the applications, the defendants are alleged to have misrepresented material information. You can read the excerpt from the official release by the Department of Justice and the list of defendants below.
Austin is a friend of mine since 2017, this is not easy for me to hear.
May the Power Protect You!
