Long was sentenced to 24 months for a $2.3 million pandemic-relief fraud scheme.

A prison term after a guilty plea is the court’s judgment on the admitted count. It is not a new accusation. On Sunday, Sept. 28, 2026, Jabari Long was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison for conspiring to commit wire fraud in a pandemic-assistance scheme, the IRS Criminal Investigation announcement said. U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr., for the Eastern District of Michigan announced the sentence. Restitution of $2,187,500 and three years of supervised release are part of that judgment.

Court records summarized by IRS-CI say Long used Priceless Preservations Construction to obtain a fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program loan of $2,187,000 and a fraudulent Economic Injury Disaster Loan of $150,000. He claimed the business had 50 employees and an average monthly payroll of $875,000. Prosecutors said the company had few, if any, employees and little to no payroll. Within weeks of receiving the funds, he used a portion to buy a four-bedroom home in Beverly Hills, Michigan, the announcement said. In pleading guilty he also admitted submitting false tax documentation. Those facts are the plea and sentencing record. They are not a separate open charge.

ClickOnDetroit and other local coverage reported the same 24-month term, restitution, and supervised-release package around Sept. 28–29, 2026. A sentence after a plea closes the guilt question on the admitted conspiracy count. The custody term and money judgment are what the court imposed.

IRS Criminal Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew J. Yahkind prosecuted. Twenty-four months is the custodial sentence. It is not a pending allegation.
