Mr. Khan, 55, of Alexandria, Va., pleaded guilty last year to orchestrating the fraud, which prosecutors called the largest domestic bribery and bid-rigging scheme in the history of federal contracting cases. He acknowledged pocketing bribes from corrupt contractors in exchange for certifying bogus or inflated invoices for services that were never provided. The money was used to pay for mistresses in several states and overseas, as well as for luxuries including Rolex watches, first-class plane tickets, expensive clothes and liquor and a spacious home that a prosecutor described as the “Khan Majal,” the authorities said. “You made history for the wrong reasons — you know that, don’t you?” Judge Sullivan told Mr. Khan before handing down the sentence. Mr. Khan apologized, saying the crimes occurred during a “very, very dark period of my life.”
