Remember AAA Airlines - Whatever happened to the Principles?

Was just reading an ancient article about the aborted upstart airline AAA Airlines back in the early nineties.

I also remember 4 Corners doing a real expose on them, describing those senior members to be charlatans no less and pointing to alarming discrepancies in their qualifications and backgrounds compared to what was advertised.

A also recall a number of people losing alot of money with this mob, ranging from pilots that paid money for endorsements (and never got them) through to flight attendants that paid money upfront for their jobs also.
Pilots (second officers) were to be multi-skilled and working as flight attendants/baggies also I recall.

Did these people ever get their money back and what has happened to those at the top of the food chain that were in control?

Maybe it could have worked and sounds similar to Impulse but with older equipment.
