Your post is very confusing, because by using the nickname "lost wages" for Las Vegas, you make it sound like you're looking for this guy over some kind of payroll dispute...
This scum bag has other Ottley awards too:

Just don't seem right to be profiting from another man's awards of accomplishment...
Oh my! Just think of the poor little fellow, all stuffed up tight and unable to move, barely able to breathe from the pressure of the surrounding nylon, surviving "buried" alive for days...
I bought some "swai" a while ago, because it sounded exotic. Turns out, swai is just an Asian catfish. Maybe the same problem there with cleanliness...
Show us the law: https://malegislature.gov/laws
I get zero hits on the keywords "skydive" or "parachute".
All hits for "flotation" involve watercraft.
Are you sure it's not just a drop zone rule, rather than a state law?
Maybe it's not really worse than others, just more visible because it had a lot of stuff to suck up in the air.
And as a skydiver, that's preferable to an less visible one, because you can see and avoid it.
Pretty impressive though.
