The 41-year-old Jersey City, N.J., resident was caught after a bank teller yelled for help during a holdup in May 2008. Police found a black wig, woman's hat and makeup kit in his getaway van.
Luong admitted committing or attempting nine bank robberies in five months. He told bank tellers he had a bomb. He pleaded guilty in March to charges stemming from two of the robberies.
He also was ordered Wednesday to pay $39,000 restitution and serve three years of supervised release after completing his prison term.
