The 50-year-old Manhattan resident was Esiason's on-air partner for years on WFAN's "Boomer and Carton" show. He left the show after his 2017 arrest.
Prosecutors said Carton touted his show business contacts and ability to get prime seats at events like Metallica and Barbra Streisand concerts to solicit nearly $7 million from investors. They say he blew the money on everything from gambling debts to landscaping bills.
