Once had Over $3 Million Worth of Yachts?... Karma is a Bitch

In 2018, 'hype and fluffery' was an integral part of Billy's playbook.

While acting as his own attorney before the Tennessee Court of Appeals in 2024, he sang a different tune. 

'Billy' or ‘William Jennings Smith’ was sued by gal/pal Robyn Hurvitz over a real estate dispute–the case made it to the Tennessee Court of Appeals as ‘Whiskey Barrel Trading Company vs Robyn Hurvitz.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-vExEKQgoE

Whiskey Barrel Case Delayed for Years if Tried in the U.S. Supreme Court?

Update on the Auction: It was allowed to continue and on 11/13/2025 the property was bought by a local family...

Pro se attorney oral argument in the Whiskey Barrel Trading Company vs Robyn Hurvitz case appeal made by Coker Creek resident Billy Smith... The Appeal was denied in TN State Court...He was often incoherent and rambling with comments and text that he had difficulty with--but, like he said, "he ain't no lawyer." What options does he have?

Billy started a Gofundme several months ago--says he is donating $2500 to benefit victims of corruption in Monroe County but the donations balance as of 4/5/2025 only shows $315... And has dropped to '0' funds as of 5/27/2025 https://gofund.me/c1976eda

  *************************

Filing an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court can delay a state action.

• The Supreme Court has the power to review decisions made by the state courts.
• When an appeal is filed, it can lead to the court deciding to hear the case (granting certiorari).
• While the Court considers the case, it can issue stays or injunctions that halt the state action in question.
• Stays: The Court can issue a "stay," which is a temporary suspension of legal proceedings or actions. This can prevent a state from enforcing a law or carrying out a decision while the appeal is pending.
• The Appeal Process Itself: The legal process of an appeal to the Supreme Court itself takes time. So even without a stay being issued, the process itself delays the state action.
• If the Supreme Court ultimately rules against the state, it can invalidate the state's law or action, effectively preventing it from being implemented.
• But here's the bad news Billy--The Supreme Court accepts a very small percentage of the cases that are presented to it, and this includes pro se appeals.
• The Supreme Court has discretionary jurisdiction, meaning it gets to choose which cases it will hear.
• It primarily focuses on cases that have significant legal principles or have a nationwide impact.
• The deadline for filing a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court is generally 90 days after the entry of judgment or decree by the lower court. Some cases have an even shorter deadline of 30 days.

By dragging his former girlfriend/business partner 'through the mud' with a litany of insults and off-topic remarks, Billy showed his true colors. It was more likely that the Arabs and the Jews would have agreed to a permanent peace accord before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to hear an appeal by 'Billy' William Jennings Smith.

Recent Clues Shed Light on 2023 Facebook Hoaxster Daniela Valderrama

It was an alarming and bizarre encounter on May 22, 2023. It is now crystal clear the motive behind the malicious tactics used was a 'swatting attack' by a 'serial hoaxster.'...the victim remembers, "It felt like being chased by a raving lunatic." 

On Monday, May 22, 2023 -- an alert was posted on the local Facebook users group by Daniela Valderrama saying..."Does Anyone know who this creepy guy is?"

The so-called "creepy guy" was an innocent victim and was falsely accused and harassed for no reason--he was interviewed by MCNW and wants to share how he ran into the accuser...

Update 2/26/2025...Why was Billy's new girlfriend so 'alarmed and hysterical' back in 2023...was it because they wanted to hide what they had on Cooper Hollow Road...?

Could it be that there is a 34-acre parcel of land near Tilley Lane registered to the infamous  'Whiskey Barrel Trading Company...?'  It's an LLC that was dissolved years ago...There is much more to come...

                         ...........................

Manny Silva says...I was driving towards Cooper Hollow Road and saw what looked like a stranded or perhaps a lost motorist on the side of the road: I stopped and said hello...As soon as I realized she must be a friend or girlfriend of dirty trickster 'Billy' William Jennings Smith; I drove on, and could hear as she "screamed and hollered"... she wanted to know "How did you know that, and who are you?"...

Cooper Hollow Road in Monroe County TN is one of the most hidden places to live and use as a base of operations.

As I looked in my rear-view mirror, she had turned around and was following me--GPS cache meta-data would show that she followed me after our brief conversation...

I felt she was so enraged that I better stop and try to calm her down--she started video recording her shouting and screaming, so I took a picture of her...I later made a police report at the Tellico PD with a Monroe County officer...I was in fear for my life and felt I was being chased by a "raving lunatic."

Watch Tommy G video below--it shows how Ryan Montgomery was pranked by a Fakesbook hoax and the aftermath.
