William Cammisano Jr. and Michael Lombardo get a year in prison for sports betting operation

Forget omertà. After William Cammisano Jr. and Michael Lombardo found out that the feds were investigating them for running an illegal sports gambling operation, both men told their bettors to talk with the feds.

This came from the Star‘s coverage of the sentencing of Cammisano and Lombardo, who each received sentences of a year and a day for their roles in the $3.5 million operation. Lombardo’s attorney, Michael Yonke, told the court:

“He reached out to his two bettors to say, ‘I’ve been contacted by the

FBI. They’re going to contact you. Do what you have to do. Tell the

truth and don’t do a bunch of time for me.'”
