Timothy S. Miller, a wealthy businessman and philanthropist, pleaded guilty Thursday to paying bribes in exchange for millions in government contracts.
Miller, 58, of Chesapeake, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to paying a gratuity to a public official.
He faces up to two years in prison when he is sentenced Nov. 7.
Miller admitted that while working for Miller Hardman Design, a company then co-owned by his daughter and Dwayne Hardman, he paid $50,000 in bribes to two government officials with the Navy's Military Sealift Command in exchange for lucrative contracts.
