Alarm bells are going off as a California man who supposedly works as a “respiratory therapist” has gotten obscenely rich in what appears to be one of the worst cases of Medicaid fraud yet.
As City Journal’s Chris Rufo reported on Wednesday, Curtis Kurkova has a company called HeroCare that has at least $40.5 million in California Medicaid payments since 2020. Roughly $34.4 million of that was paid out between 2023 and 2024.
Per Rufo, HeroCare earned the majority of its Medicaid revenue between 2020 and 2024 from a handful of basic plastic commodities.
Flush with these tens of millions of dollars, Kurkova has spent lavishly. His largest purchase was a $28 million Hidden Hills mansion near where the Kardashians live.
Kurkova and his husband also spent millions on sports cars, private jets, luxury resorts, and three additional homes. They have even partied in some of the most exclusive areas on the planet.
