The charges stemmed from a scheme in which investigators said Khan received sales and financial information from a friend who at the time worked in Ross's finance department. Officials said Khan used the confidential information to illegally buy and sell securities on the NASDAQ stock exchange ahead of Ross's public announcements of sales performance figures.
In addition to the prison term, U.S. District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam sentenced Khan to a two-year period of supervised release.
