On May 29, 2025, Dr. Reginald Eburuche of Southfield was convicted by a federal jury for bank fraud. The announcement was made by United States Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr., who was joined by Special Agent in Charge Cheyvoryea Gibson of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Detroit Division.
Dr. Eburuche was found guilty of obtaining a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan fraudulently in July 2020 for his start-up business, Renovis Healthcare. Evidence presented during the trial revealed that after failing to secure a line of credit for his business in 2019, he turned to the PPP program as an alternative source of funding. He sought $1.7 million at 1% interest by inflating employee numbers and payroll figures on his application. He also submitted fraudulent tax documents to support these claims. A significant portion of the funds was frozen and seized before the trial commenced.
U.S. Attorney Gorgon commented, “When a licensed professional chooses fraud over integrity, the harm runs deeper than dollars.” He added that Dr. Eburuche “stole money meant to keep workers afloat during a time of crisis” and emphasized that their office would continue pursuing those exploiting such programs for personal gain.
Cheyvoryea Gibson from the FBI stated, “Dr. Reginald Eburuche’s conviction for Bank Fraud represents not only an abuse of taxpayer dollars but a betrayal of public trust during a time of national hardship.” He praised the efforts of local FBI members and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for their roles in resolving this case and reiterated their commitment to bringing those exploiting government relief programs to justice.
The prosecution was led by Assistant United States Attorney Carl Gilmer-Hill with investigation support from FBI special agents. The U.S. Attorney’s Office extended gratitude to the Small Business Administration and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration for their assistance.
