U.S. District Judge Kenneth Ryskamp has sentenced former Lake Worth real estate attorney Timothy McCabe to five years in prison for stealing more than $6 million from clients before disappearing for more than two months.

McCabe, who has been in custody since he surrendered last June, appeared in court Wednesday in a jail-issue blue jumpsuit. He apologized to the victims, many of whom attended the hearing, and begged the court to give him a chance to pay restitution. In addition to prison time, Ryskamp ordered McCabe to pay $5.9 million in restitution to the 73 people he bilked.
