'Dadda! Hi!': Kids welcome Oliver Curtis to private plane after a year behind bars
White-collar criminal Oliver Curtis has walked free from a NSW jail after serving one year for insider trading.
The husband of high-profile Sydney PR maven Roxy Jacenko was jailed in June 2016 after being found guilty of conspiring to commit 45 illicit trades through which the 31-year-old and then-friend John Hartman swindled $1.43 million.
Wearing jeans, a baseball cap, and a hooded jacket Curtis walked out of Cooma Correctional Centre at about 8.45am on Friday flanked by a private security guard.
He made his way through the waiting media pack to a black 4WD and did not answer any questions from reporters.
The security guard told journalists "don't push guys" as Curtis climbed into the back seat of the luxury car which drove directly to Cooma's Snowy Mountains Airport 13km away.

Jacenko, dressed in stilettos and leather trousers, was seen leaving her Sydney east home in a black Range Rover with the couple's two children, Pixie and Hunter, on Friday morning.
The group then travelled to the airport and boarded a private plane to pick up Curtis.
According to AAP, squeals of joy could be heard from the children inside the aircraft as Curtis boarded it just after 9am.
Ms Jacenko visited her husband regularly throughout his time in jail and it's been reported she told their children that "daddy" was in China on business.
The Supreme Court trial was told the former banker made trades between May 27 and June 2008 based on confidential information that Hartman possessed as an employee of Orion Asset Management.
When sentencing him, Justice Lucy McCallum said the profits from the conspiracy were used to "fund a lifestyle of conspicuous extravagance".
Profits from the scam were spent on a new Mini Cooper, a motorbike, holidays in Whistler and Las Vegas and a luxurious Bondi apartment.
The judge set a maximum of two years in jail but ordered he be released on recognisance after serving a year.
In December, Curtis's appeal against his conviction was dismissed.
