SILVER STATE
BANKRUPTCY FILING HERE!!

Notice Airola claims SSH has less than $50,000 in assets. This, despite the fact that he withdrew hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars of students' funds from their bank accounts in the last few days and hours leading up to the bankruptcy petition filing!

In that very same filing, Jerry himself estimates that he may have defrauded as many as TEN THOUSAND VICTIMS out of as much as $50 MILLION DOLLARS!

FEBRUARY 2008 SSH BANKRUPTCY UPDATE:

In summer of 2006, Jerry Airola, the president of Silver State Helicopters, entered the election race for Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas).

Despite spending several million dollars of his own money, he was soundly defeated in trying to buy his way into public office, helped in no small part by the warnings to the public that we were able to publish here at Swiftchopper.com.

Sadly, our suspicions and warnings about this sleazeball were proven only too true. If anything, we see that we were too kind to him at the time.

For with the Chapter 7 bankruptcy of Silver State Helicopters he engineered this past February, he has now added several thousand additional victims to his list of people whose lives he's ruined, the students of Silver State Helicopters.

As you might imagine, since Feb. 4 we have been inundated with e-mails from people who have been victimized by his latest scam, the very peculiar "bankruptcy" of SSH.

Many of the stories are truly heartbreaking, people who mortgaged their homes to pay for SSH classes, borrowed money from relatives and who now have no way of paying it back, and more.

Jerry Airola is one of the biggest con artists of our time!

We urge all of his victims to file complaints with their local District Attorneys in jurisdictions in which he had flight schools and through them defrauded his students, and strongly urge that full criminal penalties be brought against him. In addition, he is liable for Federal prosecution under bankruptcy fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering statutes.

Hopefully this sociopath will soon be behind bars, where he belongs.

 

Swift Chopper Pilots For Truth

 

All the signs point to a clear case of bankruptcy fraud!

Are you an SSH student who had your bank account drained in the final hours leading up to this bankruptcy filing?

Are you an ex-employee, now out of a job, who may have knowledge or suspicions where Jerry Airola and his co-conspirators, the executives of SSH, are concealing assets?

Or where they may have laundered the money drained from his students' accounts?

In August of 2007, just 6 months ago, Jerry and his wife bought a house
with some of the money he stole from his students
in New Braunfels, Texas (just outside of San Antonio)
for $659,000.

In addition, we have information that at the same time, he also
bought a house nearby for his parents, costing another
$850,000 or so!

We hear that he paid cash for these properties ....

Gosh, we wonder where he got that much cash money from!!!

 


 

 

Here is the original content of our
Swiftchopper.com Website as published in 2006,
warning the citizens of Las Vegas:

 

I asked if he had ever been hit with a class action lawsuit and he said no, never. The fact is, Airola's company was targeted in June with a class action suit filed by his former students. Our interview took place in early July. The class action suit had been filed just three weeks prior. He lied to my face and didn't bat an eye.

One of Nevada's foremost and
most respected investigative reporters.

Jerry Airola was no ordinary Scientologist. He was for years, in his own words, WISE's NATIONAL SALES MANAGER. As such, he conspired to aggressively recruit and entrap hundreds, perhaps thousands, of unsuspecting victims. WISE and Scientology have been repeatedly labeled as among the most insidious, perverse, and dangerous criminal enterprises this country has ever seen.

Here's a good link to a Scientology-exposé site that explains the relationship between WISE and Scientology. It explains how kickbacks are paid by the "Church" to sleazebags like Jerry Airola:

LMT Media


We are not the only website trying to warn the public about Jerry Airola.

Search on Google using terms such as "Jerry Airola" and "lawsuit" and "Silver State" to find current sites.

There was for several years a major site called "The Silver State Truth" devoted to exposing Jerry Airola's scams, but was recently taken over by Jerry himself and now directs to his own SSH company!

In public forums, Jerry and his Silver State accomplices will often show up as "Guest" members, and try to leave comments contradicting or belittling victims of Silver State Helicopters. Read between the lines of anyone leaving comments defending this crook and they'll become obvious.

 

 

Read Jerry's Bio as originally published on his website. This was just one of the sources of his false claims to being a peace officer. He has recently removed this and drastically limited its text in hopes people won't follow his true career path:

JAoldbio.html

 

We couldn't have said it better ourselves:

"My opinion: I honestly believe Jerry has certain mental issues (perhaps not yet diagnosed) and is living in his own fantasy land. I think he truely believes everything he says. He is so full of optimism that he continually looses touch with reality on many issues."

"So we all ask: Why he would run for Sheriff of Clark County considering the possibility of a huge media attack, furthermore during pending class action lawsuits whose intent is to expose his alleged commercial criminal activities? I dont know. The only thing I can think of is that he has become so wound up in his "success" that he completely forgot about the lies it took to get himself there. Though, he evidently doesnt care much about putting the brakes on the ever-lengthening lie-train."

 

 

 

 

"WISE is about bait-and-switch conversion to a religion, with recruiters collecting a prize for each new convert."

-- www.xenu.net  

 

 

 

 

Here's how Jerry dances around and tries to conceal his Scientology involvement. The "company" he keeps obliquely referring to here in his original - now censored - bio is WISE:

"Jerry was married at the age of 18 and moved to Southern California to work for an environmental company that offered continuing education and training classes. By the time he was 19 years old Jerry was promoted through the company to the position of National Sales Manager tasked with the training and oversight of Managers at 12 locations. The company was rated by Inc magazine as one of the top 100 fastest growing companies in America for two consecutive years. While Jerry was working in Southern California his parents moved to Ventura and together they opened and managed three independent dealerships in Ventura, Santa Maria and San Jose, California."

 

 

 

 

"A WISE member is entitled to be paid by Church of Scientology orgs and missions for getting people onto services; their pay shall be in terms of commissions. Such commissions can be quite lucrative, depending only on the activity of the WISE member."

- WISE Policy Directive Internal 14, 27 March 1986, "Field Staff Member Activities"

 

 

From Time Magazine, one excerpt of how the Scientology organization is staffed with sociopaths, psychopaths and paranoid schizophrenics:

"Scientology is now run by David Miscavige, 31, a high school dropout and second-generation church member. Defectors describe him as cunning, ruthless and so paranoid about perceived enemies that he kept plastic wrap over his glass of water.

Miscavige reportedly likes to shoot photos of perceived enemies with a .45 automatic."

Recruits wealthy and respectable professionals through a web of consulting groups that typically hide their ties to Scientology (Editor's Note: Hmmm... like Airola tries to hide his ties?!)

COMING SOON!!

Jerry's next job after WISE:

"Northland Environmental", another Scientology-related enterprise. Take a look at the California Secretary of State's record for this firm:

Cal SoS Northland

Why, lo and behold, this Corporation's Agent is none other than a certain "Richard C. Talbert". He figures in the Scientology racket as one of their "Impact 59 and Impact 69 Patrons" and took the following "Service Completions"

And Northland itself is listed as a Scientology "Patron" in its Impact magazine, Vol.33:

A WARNING ON
JERRY AIROLA

 

The voters of Clark County have in recent days seen the news stories exposing Jerry Airola's false claims to being a "cop". Many citizens have been shocked to watch this man lie through his teeth, and continue to insist he holds valid law enforcement credentials despite undeniable documentation and other proof to the contrary.

If you're getting the impression that this man is not fit to hold public office, you're right.

HIS LIES ABOUT BEING A COP ARE ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG!!

The truth of the matter is that Jerry Airola is a professional con-man who has spent his entire adult life defrauding people, in one fraudulent business enterprise after another.

He has swindled innocent families out of their entire life savings.

He has ruined the lives of many, many people.

He has destroyed the hopes and dreams of countless individuals. These people were guilty of nothing more than being trusting enough to believe his highly polished, rehearsed, slick talk and to trust his lies.

Sure he's made himself into a multimillionaire.

We ALL could too, if we were willing to lie, cheat and steal from everybody we could, with the total absence of conscience or remorse that is characteristic of the sociopathic personality.

Jerry has gotten desperate in recent weeks. He's trying so hard to conceal the truth about himself that he's begun threatening lawsuits against operators of websites popular in the helicopter pilots' community. These pilots that he is trying to scare into submission are people who know him well, and his crooked business, Silver State Helicopters.

 

HE STARTED EARLY, FOLKS

We can trace Jerry Airola's corrupt enterprises all the way back to his very first job after leaving high school at age 18. At that time, he went to work for an outfit called "W.I.S.E. Communications."

WISE stands for "World Institute of Scientology Enterprises."

It is a known front for recruitment of unsuspecting victims into the Scientology racket. Some have said that WISE is "the single most lucrative dissemination line for the Scientology cult."

Most of the businesses run by Scientologists are members of WISE. Many WISE companies are "management consultant" firms that hold seminars for dentists, veterinarians, chiropractors, and other professionals, promising to help them "boom" their businesses with a spectacular new management technology. Although they don't say so at the outset, of course, they mean the Scientology method of brainwashing.

These consulting firms go into a business, put Scientologists in administrative positions in the company, and then try to convince the owners and staff that the only way they will ever really be successful is by handling those personal problems that are holding them back.

How to handle these personal problems? By getting auditing at the nearest Scientology induction center, of course. The unsuspecting victims like those ensnared by Jerry Airola in his years in this WISE scam can eventually expect to be bilked out of $20,000 or more, some have estimated up to $300,000!

Here's how a typical WISE racket like that operated by young Jerry would work. Scientology would stand to rake in such huge profits from every victim inducted into the ranks, that they would pay "commissions" or kickbacks to whichever WISE office was responsible for sending the victim their way.

Obviously Jerry's parents did a miserable job of raising a decent and ethical child. If you'll note from the sidebar to the left, they eagerly colluded with him, and even moved to Ventura so that the three of them could join together in their money-making Scientology recruitment empire.

In his own words, young little Jerry Airola was no ordinary Scientologist. He was such a perfect fit for the job, a ruthlessly ambitious thug unburdened by any considerations of conscience, that his rise through the WISE/Scientology ranks was nothing less than spectacular. Again, in his own words, he became at age 19 their "National Sales Manager tasked with the training and oversight of Managers at 12 locations."

A natural-born swindler even by Scientology's standards ....

But note also the use of the Sheriff's badge. If this is from one of his California agencies, it may constitute a violation of California Penal Code Sec. 538:

(a) Any person other than one who by law is given the authority of a peace officer, who willfully wears, exhibits, or uses the authorized uniform, insignia, emblem, device, label, certificate, card, or writing, of a peace officer, with the intent of fraudulently impersonating a peace officer, or of fraudulently inducing the belief that he or she is a peace officer, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

(b) (1) Any person, other than the one who by law is given the authority of a peace officer, who willfully wears, exhibits, or uses the badge of a peace officer with the intent of fraudulently impersonating a peace officer, or of fraudulently inducing the belief that he or she is a peace officer, is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed one year, by a fine not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine.

(2) Any person who willfully wears or uses any badge that falsely purports to be authorized for the use of one who by law is given the authority of a peace officer, or which so resembles the authorized badge of a peace officer as would deceive any ordinary reasonable person into believing that it is authorized for the use of one who by law is given the authority of a peace officer, for the purpose of fraudulently impersonating a peace officer, or of fraudulently inducing the belief that he or she is a peace officer, is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed one year, by a fine not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine.

And here is the relevant Nevada Statute:

"NRS 197.120  False impersonation of public officer; intrusion into and refusal to surrender public office.  Every person who shall falsely personate or represent any public officer, or who shall willfully intrude himself into a public office to which he has not been duly elected or appointed, or who shall willfully exercise any of the functions or perform any of the duties of such officer, without having duly qualified therefor, as required by law, or who, having been an executive or administrative officer, shall willfully exercise any of the functions of his office after his right to do so has ceased, or wrongfully refuse to surrender the official seal or any books or papers appertaining to such office, upon the demand of his lawful successor, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

 
 


 

"Many (helicopter company) operators refuse to hire Silver State graduates."

One of Jerry's Silver State Helicopter Scams At A Glance:

"SSH's marketing scheme is highly directed towards working people, but it also contributes to the biggest fraud developing from the company. SSH does this because they know working people will not be able to put the time and effort to their training compared to their ideal of a "typical" student....one who has infinitely deep pockets and does not work. In turn, when these students are not able to complete training in a prompt manner, SSH points the finger and says "your work schedule didn't allow you to fly enough". But all of us students and former students know better. We all know now that it was not because of our work schedules but it was in fact SSH's failure to plan properly for what it was getting itself into.

...these students would get fed-up with the lack of progress and quit, then SSH would point the finger and say to the student "your schedule wasn't good enough for us" and they would take their fat contract cancellation fees and over-priced "reverted" rates (because the student quits he does not get the "special" rate anymore) or some contracts dont let you get ANY refund.

So lets say you are in training for one year and get your private license...and you decide this crap is taking way too long....you are 50-70 hrs down the hole = $15000-20000 plus contract cancellation ($3000, $6000, $10000, or full remainder). "

He's especially forlorn since they just

didn't even have the common alien decency
to give him their phone number.
