For Austin St. John to lose his job he'd have to have one to begin with.
Unless we're considering "wire fraud" as employment. |

I don't want to be one of those "separate the art from the artist" people but also like at this point half the cast of the Power Rangers franchise across multiple seasons seem to either have terrible allegations against them or they're kind of awful and egotistical for being in a 30 year old kid's show once that's long past it's prime that I'm pretty much numb to any negative news about the cast, and I say this as a Power Rangers fan. I just try to remember the positive memories the show gave me with friends and family who I enjoyed Power Rangers with over the years. My love of Power Rangers was always about those bonds and memories and not these famous people I don't know. But I'm just not phased by any negative news that comes out about the actors' personal lives anymore.

Probably a good perspective to have. |

Hey look on the brightside.
At least now he has the money to pay the legal fees and fines. Good ol' PPP at work. The government givith and taketh. |

I think it is perfectly reasonable to boycott/refuse to support someone going forward, including convention appearances and any shows they may dub. At the same time retain any shows or other merchandise specific to the character played, or to purchase remaining store stock or third party sales of stuff that has been out of print. The older stuff doesn't give money or support to someone you cannot abide. To be honest, I've never seen the point in getting to into the lives of the performers or content creators who make the material I enjoy. As far as I'm concerned the work stands alone. If it is OK then I don't care about the creator. |

I'll just say one thing: you're not guilty unless you're proven guilty. However, federal loan fraud is one of those crimes when there is almost little doubt about who is guilty. A fraud case involving instant guaranteed loans involves real evidence, such as receipts, contracts, and bills, unlike murder prosecutions, which rely on forensic research, which is replete with fraudulent junk science.
