If you own a few business, I don’t suggest claiming you’re unemployed to collect Medicaid.

Two-time James Beard Award-semifinalist, chef and restaurateur Melissa Araujo was arrested in Baton Rouge on Wednesday on a count of government benefits fraud, according to court records. She was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Wednesday and is currently free on bond, jail records show. Acting on a tip, Louisiana Bureau of Investigation agents reviewed Araujo’s bank records and found she was earning over six figures while receiving Medicaid benefits, which are intended for low-income recipients, according to Louisiana attorney general Liz Murrill. A warrant obtained by WAFB states she purchased three properties worth a combined $785,000 and received 1,266 deposits totaling $3.1 million from 13 businesses linked to her.

Between June 2020 and September 2022, $384,147.51 was deposited into her personal account alone, authorities say. Despite this, Araujo allegedly told a Louisiana Department of Health employee she had not “engaged in work” since 2022.

Araujo's Alma Cafe became a Bywater staple and brunch hotspot when she opened its doors in 2020. In 2023, she launched Oscar inside Pirogue’s Whiskey Bayou in Arabi, followed by a second Alma Cafe location in Mid-City this year. Last month, James Franco dined at Alma during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

No way that pig likes men.

So even Two-time James Beard Award-semifinalists can be total trash.

New Orleans Reddit posters always hated on her, looks like the broken clock was right this time. Alma is outstanding, the horchata was some of the best I’ve had.

Not sure what that post has to do with this thread. And while I am sure there is some fraud, I am also sure Musk is lying about the numbers.
If I was in charge of DOGE and wanted to find fraud, I would investigate ex-cops collecting disability... now that I could believe would be over 100k.

I can promise you there is some major tax evasion going on with her. She is finished.

It seems it's always the same looking people.

It took someone ratting her out for the state to figure this out.
Clearly their checks and controls are trash
