It says that the charge carries that as a maximum, not that that's what he'll get. While i also think two years would be excessive, I absolutely think this moron should be punished severely, if only just to deter all the other morons from pulling shit like this for clicks.

Maximum penalties in the United States Draconian themselves, almost nobody gets the maximum, but for instance if you have a valid driver's license but forgot your wallet, 90 days in jail. Publishing a bad check? 15 years in prison.
