Faking Own Death and Counterfeiting Money Only Results in a Year of Jail

A South Carolina man who was tracked to Indiana after faking his death has been sentenced to a year in federal prison for counterfeiting more than $65,000 to finance his life on the run. Julius Nesbitt spent more than six weeks on the run before he was arrested at a friend's home. Federal prosecutors say he and another man made the bogus bills that were passed in several states. Nesbitt had faced drug charges in South Carolina when he cast his boat into the ocean about 30 miles south of Myrtle Beach. His disappearance prompted a search over several days. He pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to a year in jail.
I feel that the sentencing for this man was too lenient. He evaded being arrested for drug charges by faking his own death, then proceeded to counterfeit money. So drug charges, counterfeiting money, and avoiding arrest only resulted in a year of jail time.
