debit cards. Miller, who had possession and control of the cards, obtained nearly $400,000 as a result of the scam.
Miller and his co-con- spirators would withdraw the money from ATMs and at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino.
In addition to a maxi- mum of up to 10 years in fed- eral prison, Miller is also facing a mandatory two-year, consecutive term for identity theft. A sentencing date has not been set in the case, offi- cials said.
