Even worse, I think it's up to 20 years for lying to federal investigators about it. The actual crash appears to have just lead to a loss of license and probably difficult time reobtaining it. I don't know any aviation lawyers (I don't think) but there's no charges related to the crash, eg if he'd just filled out the form saying he did it for clout he'd seemingly have faced no legal sanctions.

On May 11, 2023, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California announced that Jacob pleaded guilty to a felony charge of "destruction and concealment with the intent to obstruct a federal investigation". According to prosecutors, Jacob admitted he lied to federal investigators by submitting a false aircraft accident report, and by falsely stating to an FAA investigator that he parachuted from his plane because the engine had quit and he could not find a safe place to land. Jacob also admitted to secretly disposing of the Taylorcraft: according to his plea, he and an unnamed friend used a helicopter to airlift the wreck to Rancho Sisquoc on December 10, 2021, where Jacob later loaded it onto a truck trailer, moved it to a hangar at Lompoc Airport, cut it up, and disposed of the pieces in various locations over several days, all while telling investigators he did not know where it was. Jacob said that the motive for his scheme was to earn commissions from a wallet seller that sponsored his video. Jacob faces a maximum of 20 years in a federal prison as a result.
