Florida Executives Sentenced in $233M Affordable Care Act Fraud Case Involving Homeless and Hurricane Victims

Cory Lloyd and Steven Strong sentenced to 20 years and ordered to pay $180.6 million restitution for enrolling 35,000 vulnerable Floridians in fraudulent ACA plans.

  • Two Florida executives, Cory Lloyd and Steven Strong, were sentenced to 20 years in prison for leading a $233 million fraud scheme targeting vulnerable individuals under the Affordable Care Act program involving conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering charges.
  • The scheme involved enrolling about 35,000 low-income, homeless, or medically compromised people in subsidized ACA plans through fraud, often causing them to lose existing insurance coverage and disrupting access to critical medical treatments.
  • Lloyd and Strong used the stolen funds to buy luxury items including an oceanfront Florida Keys home, an 80-foot yacht, and vehicles, and were ordered to pay $180.6 million in restitution.
  • Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, condemned the scheme for exploiting vulnerable Americans and emphasized ongoing efforts to fight health care fraud nationwide as a message that such crimes will be punished.
