NEW YORK (AP) - A man who ran an illegal sports gambling operation with a Manhattan art gallery owner has been sentenced to six months in prison.

Illya Trincher was ordered to forfeit $6.4 million in illegal profits. The 28-year-old also ordered to six months of house arrest after completing his prison sentence.

The scheme catered to billionaires in New York and Hollywood.

Last week, his father, Adam Trincher, was sentenced to a five-year sentence in a related scheme.

The Manhattan dealer, Hillel Nahmad was sentenced to one year in prison.

The crime was exposed by an investigation of a sprawling money-laundering scheme by Russian-American organized crime enterprises.
