PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Assets seized in connection to an illegal sports betting ring in Maine makes this year’s total collected by the U.S. attorney’s office almost $20 million.

The Bangor Daily News reports Stephan Mardigan pleaded guilty in May 2018 to illegal gambling, money laundering and filing a false tax return. In January the 63-year-old was sentenced to 15 months in prison, and was ordered to forfeit about $13 million in property as well as $1.1 million in cash.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Maine says last fiscal year it collected more than $19.8 million. The previous year it collected $3.9 million.
