A cruel Long Island con man bought a lavish mansion and Bentley thanks to a twisted Medicaid bait-and-switch scam that robbed undernourished infants of proper baby formula, officials said Monday. Nduka Lewis Ekpenyong, 36, skimmed $2. 6 million from the taxpayer-funded program by providing low-grade PediaSure to needy babies who had been prescribed more expensive special formulas they needed, according to state Attorney General Letitia James.
