Miller pleaded guilty in March to a count of collecting unlawful debts in a sports betting ring that federal prosecutors said brought in $2,000 a day for the Bonanno crime family.
Three reputed mobsters also pleaded guilty in March: Michael Carucci, 38, of Rossville, and Vincent ( Vinny Bionics) DiSario, 47, of Manhattan, copped to the same count as Miller, while John (Big John) Contello, 55, of Brooklyn, pleaded guilty to collecting unlawful debts.
