Funny story there.
As far as I can tell, Jerry Airola got away from the Silver State Helicopters ponzi scheme without ever being held accountable (I can’t find any references to criminal charges, but there might have been some civil suits), and he went on to a career in law enforcement in Texas.
However, in March, he got indicted for “misuse of official information, official oppression, and unauthorized obtaining of criminal history record information” for using law enforcement resources to harass a couple and unlawfully arrest three people, so it sounds like his behavior never really changed.
