He probably had multiple counts and copped a plea. That is the American
way. Sometimes it's smarter to take a little jail time, in order not to
serve concurrent sentences...

Saw a case on Law $ Order the other day. The guy sold bogus medical
vaccines...he decided to role the dice with a jury. 16 people died
because of what he did. He was found guilty on all 16 counts, and was
given 15 years per count...a plea bargain would had been his best option
there.
