Not so fast. 

A Louisiana woman who purchased a Lamborghini while fraudulently obtaining Medicaid benefits is facing a fraud charge, authorities said this week. 

Candace Taylor, a 35-year-old resident of Slidell, has been labeled the “Medicaid millionaire” by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office. On Monday, she was taken into custody following an investigation conducted by the state Bureau of Investigation. This inquiry started after the Louisiana Health Department filed a complaint, alleging that Taylor had misrepresented her income to obtain Medicaid benefits.

A look at her accounts revealed deposits totaling $480,994.09, with over $325,000 directly attributable to Taylor’s business activities, authorities said. In addition, transfers and payments were disbursed from one account, including $45,086.65 in vehicle payments to Audi Finance.

Other purchases included a $100,000 wire transfer to Tactical Fleet, an exotic car dealership, followed by a $13,000 debit card transaction for the purchase of a 2022 Lamborghini Urus, authorities said. 

Taylor also made multiple six-figure withdrawals via cashier’s checks, which allegedly funded property purchases, cosmetic surgery, high-end jewelry, and luxury services.

Two months after the Lamborghini, Taylor tried to renew her Medicaid benefits, claiming she made $4,000 per month with an unidentified business. However, she omitted that she was the owner, authorities said. 

Investigators also saw Taylor flaunting her lifestyle on social media, the attorney general’s office said.
