A Louisiana woman was arrested after allegedly buying a Lamborghini and other expensive purchases while receiving Medicaid benefits.
Candace Taylor, 35, was arrested on Monday following a complaint from the Louisiana Department of Health accusing her of committing Medicaid recipient fraud, according to Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill.
Taylor allegedly severely underreported her income to secure Medicaid benefits but simultaneously flouted expensive purchases on social media, Murrill said.
Records revealed that Taylor had deposited more than $480,000, made vehicle payments exceeding $45,000 to Audi Finance, and made multiple six-figure withdrawals to fund property purchases, cosmetic surgery, high-end jewelry and ‘luxury services.’
Taylor also allegedly made a $100,000 wire transfer to an exotic car dealership, as well as a $13,000 debit card transaction for a 2022 Lamborghini Urus.
