A Louisiana woman was arrested after allegedly buying a Lamborghini and other expensive purchases while receiving Medicaid benefits. 

Candace Taylor, 35, was taken into custody on Monday after the Louisiana Department of Health filed a complaint alleging her involvement in Medicaid recipient fraud, as stated by 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. 

She posted photos of her expensive purchases on social media, making multiple posts on Facebook and Instagram, Murrill said. 

Taylor pictured herself on Instagram in lavish clothing and jewelry as well as posing beside expensive cars, including a pink Corvette and a green Lamborghini. 

Then, two months after the expensive splurge, she contacted the Louisiana Department of Health to renew her benefits.

 She allegedly claimed an income of $2,000 per month and failed to reveal the business she owned.  

Taylor had allegedly applied for the benefits multiple times between 2020 and 2024 through ‘misrepresentation, concealment, and non disclosure of required information.’ 

In May of 2019, she applied for benefits under the name ‘Candace Sailor’ and reported her income to be $1,900 bi-weekly with no dependents, Murrill said. 

Yet, when her application was denied, she tried again one year later in March 2020 using the same alias. 

Arrest records indicated that Taylor was also inconsistent with the years she reported having a dependent, Murrill said. 

However, she was found to have brought in more than $9.5 million across many accounts belonging to her. 

Taylor posted on Facebook on Tuesday in reference to the charges: ‘Man Watch Out! That’s Not All True…Let’s Review In A Couple Months.’

She also reposted multiple pictures online from friends stating her innocence.  

Taylor was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and charged with Medicaid recipient fraud.  The investigation is ongoing.
