And his house got raided.

https://www.tmz.com/2022/05/20/red-power-ranger-arrested-charged-fraud-fbi-raid/

RED POWER RANGER
ACTOR AUSTIN ST. JOHN ARRESTED FOR COVID FRAUD
... Massive FBI Raid, Guns Drawn


Austin St. John, the actor who played the Red Power Ranger in the 90s TV series, has had his house raided by the feds and he's now under arrest in a massive federal criminal case.

One of St. John's neighbors tells TMZ ... approximately 15 FBI agents in tactical gear rolled up to St. John's home Thursday at 7 AM in Tahoe Suburbans in an upscale neighborhood in McKinney, Texas ... brandishing what looked like AR-15s as they approached his porch.

They entered the home and when they came out they had a plus 1 -- St. John in handcuffs.

Apparently there's a Power Ranger curse, and alot of the actors have gotten in trouble for assault, murder, etc. One of the original rangers died. The pink ranger did porn (which is cool)

Either way, I'm afraid Austin St. John can't "morph" his way out of this one. The Power Rangers are tough but the US Government is tougher, and they don't like being scammed.

Meanwhile the green ranger turned into a raging fundie who gets upset if you remind him that yes, Jesus did tap out so he could die for our sins.

The pink ranger apparently didn't do porn, according to this guy who's creepily obsessed enough to do the research http://templeofamyjo.blogspot.com/2011/03/did-amy-jo-johnson-do-porn-film.html

I can only imagine the number of internet arguments he has taken part in. I'm sure the frame by frame analysis was purely for research purposes.

Sounds like they went through a lot of trouble to investigate this guy. Don't know why they bothered. You could just blanket arrest every direct recipient of PPP money in the country for fraud and barely have a false positive to speak of.

Fraud was the purpose of the program.

She was also on Felicity and had a musical career. Wasn't one of the Red Rangers a male stripper? Not a Chippendale but maybe a Thunder from Down Under or something? I thought it was Wild Force but nope, that was the Red Ranger who killed his roommate.

Not really a "curse" when 2-3 of the 70 Power Rangers have died or been arrested over the span of like 27 years.

And why would they send a heavily-armed SWAT team to a white guy's house over a fraud case?

I saw them at a convention a decade or so ago. They seemed like they were having a good time and looked like they were going to a rockabilly show.

Red Ranger didn't get creative enough with his grift, unlike Green Ranger who teaches Karate for Jesus.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
