Earlier today, in the name of justice, gay pimp Billy Ash emailed the latest filings from the Seth Tobias probate case, to a motley crew of recipients that included private investigators, two hedge fund mangers, some fellow pimps, a bunch of Howard Stern show employees and John Carney, Esq. The papers enumerate the occasions on which Filomena abused Seth (one time she struck him so hard that the “force of the slap turned S. Tobias’ head and made a loud popping sound,” another time she threw a phone at him, and once she kicked a door), as well as one instance in which the tables were turned and Tobias “pulled [Filomena's] pony tail.” Mr. Ash also included this impassioned plea:
“I’m trying to keep pressure on the police to move on this bizarre case forward. I need some type of closure. It has been written about in over 5 country’s [sic], over 100 papers and over 500 articles. We need your help to solve this case.”
Normally we wouldn’t suggest that you involve yourselves in a murder case, but since it’s been written about in six countries, we’re saying yes, stop what you’re doing and help us solve this sordid tale. We’ve agreed to organize and co-host a trip down to Palm Beach and have already reserved a van. Duty calls and all that. All those interested in volunteering should shoot an e-mail to andrewross.sorkin@nytimes.com, or try him on his cell at 203-890-2000.

Hey Billy stop stuffing your face with the sausage.
Hey Billy Stop stuffing your face with sausage.
Hi guys its Billy please email me pictures before you right comments about me I would really appreciate being able to see the face behind the sausage.
Billy Ash gives $20 Blowjobs and I have pictures to prove it!!
Well, I’m happy it’s the end of the day. I must say how childish these last post look. If you saw Nancy Grace, Bill Ash is on a cruise but said he’d keep fighting and keep the media aware of anything new. I think Filomena and her family should grow up. The facts are the facts and the police records don’t lie. I think everyone on this site believe Filomena killed Seth Tobias. Grow up people!
What Police records Billy? You Cons are running out buddy! YOUR A CON MAN thats the fact! Whats records “Take it from the source” Jupiter Police

Filomena or Nancy. Anyone can get your police record it’s part of public information. The instant messages and court documents are also public information. An e-mail from IP adress owned by Filomena’s sister sent out a statement to the media but she didn’t sign it. Of course no-one ran it. Filomena you didn’t tell the details just to Bill Ash. Mama has your e-mails. I’m Beth. Remember what you told me? Stop the childish games. Let’s wait for the medical examieners report. I think everyone knows you killed Seth.
YES NANCY, YOUR SISTER FILOMENA DID KILL SETH TOBIAS
I am not Billy Ash, but did work for Filomena and Filomena did tell me things about that night that I also had a visit from the Jupiter police. Filomena her sister and brother has been trying to get the world to think she was a saint. The truth is that Filomena HATED her sister and they didn’t talk for years until Filomena started giving the sister gifts and Seth’s money. Filomena said she wouldn’t talk to her sister because she only slept with low class black men. Of course we all know Filomena only slept with the rich. The sister should remember Filomena went to jail for hitting Seth and husband 2 and 3 had to get restraining orders because of her violence. If anyone purger themself I’d think it’s the sister and that should make a good story. We have pictures of her and her baby. Nancy ask your sister who Beth is..lol. Your sister told details to many people. Bill Ash isn’t even in the country for over a week.
Well dammit if the police aren’t going to do anything I guess DB is going to have to step up and do a live Webcast trial of its own.
Carney can be court reporter. Bess can be judge. If she’s shy about appearing on camera she can wear a big Clarence Thomas mask or something.
Bess is great! I believe the police are going to move on this but not until the medical examiner makes a ruling. Filomena currently has more attorney’s than OJ so the police are trying to make sure it sticks. It’s all public information. The tox’s reports aren’t back anyone can call and ask about the Seth Tobias case.

Why would Seth be with Filomena? Look at her. Wonder why he went with guys at Cupid’s? She looks crazy!
I just checked out this post by chance. God, this stuff is weird. Any possibility of a link to the primaries?
BILLY YOU BASTARD YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE NEVER INVOLVED
“Judge not or you will be Judged first”
I agree Filomena does look crazy. I’m going to the conference and will do whatever I can do at the medical examiner’s office while down there.
BILLY YOU SICK SICK SICK!
Yeah, I was reading in the paper how many attorney’s she had. I agree the Jupiter police are just making sure it’ll stick.
I think she’s a hot milf!!!
Assistant needs more then help! Especially since he wasn’t even their assistant. I heard she found him on some psychic website. Why would someone get a personal assistant that looks like him and across the country? Doesn’t make sense.
I dont think she looks crazy. She got arrested in the middle of the night. Poor woman looks like she was crying alot.Her eyes are swollen.
YEAH! I heard it was her mug shot for hitting Seth. She had a temper. I read the instant message. The poor bastard.
He cheated on her. If I did that I’m sure my wife would hit me too. Not that she is a saint but doesn’t sound like he was one either.
Than she should have left, not hit him. Do you see a pattern 1:41
I heard that Billy Ash is in San Diego today, what cruise?
I heard that Billy Ash is in San Diego today, What cruise did he go on?
Probably some psychic networks cruise w/ the voodoo priestess. Oh mama.
I agree 1:43. The other poster doesn’t get it. No matter what the case there was no reason to hit someone. Did you see the way she wrote the instant messages and all the e-mails? She’s not even attractive. I called the number posted 7:53 and you are correct the reports aren’t in and the police are waiting for that until they make there move.
Yeah, I saw Filomena’s lawyer confirmed that she spent over $100,000 on putting curses on people. Mama is hot. I heard she talked to the police. Could you imagine this Filomena? What a nut case.
The sister and Filomena’s IP address has been confirmed that they are blogging on the internet. The sister and Filomena HATED each other until this past summer when Filomena started giving the sister gifts and Seth’s money. E-mails prove Seth went crazy and disapproved. It’s public record of Filomena’s arrest for hitting Seth. She had a temper and her e-mails and instant messages show that. It’s public record of the 2nd and 3rd husband getting restraining orders against her and thought she would kill them.

How was it confirmed?
Ha. It’s been confirmed Billy Ash is a 300lb cocksucker 3:23
It was in The Daily News that Filomena’s attorney confirmed she was paying Mama. Filomena is a nut case..lol. She used voodoo..lol. I think everyone knows she killed Seth. The poor guy. Why would a good looking guy be with a nut and someone that looked like her..lol. Look at her!

Billy Ash should do a Live interview!!!
If Billy Ash did a interview! I dont know if the news station would spend time filming Shit that HIGH!!! LOL
4:14 He has already done a live interview. It was on Nancy Grace. I saw the story on Anderson Cooper, Gretta, CNBC, Fox, NBC. I heard 48hrs and Dateline are doing stories and are in Jupiter right now interviewing past workers of Filomena’s. Keep up with the story 4:14. It’s Filomena that should do the live interview. Do the polygraph. Get her depostion taken. Why won’t she do any of these things if she did nothing wrong. Bill Ash and others have done them. It’s because she killed Seth Tobias or she wouldn’t be running from being deposed. Sounds like she did something wrong to me or she take a polygraph and not have so many law firms!
Billy Ash has not done his Depo so get the story straight not a phone interview a live interview :)
Not everyone looks good when you are booked. Have you seen Billy Ash’s picture when he was booked? NASTY!
PS – They were together because they loved each other!
Billy Ash has not done his Depo so get the story straight not a phone interview a live interview :)

1. Why won’t you be deposed if you did nothing wrong?
2. Why so many law firms?
3. Why won’t you take a polygraph?
4. Why did you put a death voodoo curse on Seth
5. Why did you have the pool redone before you burried him?
6. Why were you in Cupid’s sucking cock?
7. Why weren’t you in his will?
8. Why were you aressted for hitting him with your bad temper?
9. Why were there love e-mails and text’s from another man before and after Seth’s death?
10. Why did husband 2 and 3 get restraing orders against you?
11. Why did the state step in to help protect your kids from you?
12. Why were 385 crushed ambien pulled from your safe.
13. Why wouldn’t you let the police in your house when you called but your lawyer was there?
It does seem like you killed Seth, Filomena. This is only the stuff that has already been in the news.

She is not running from ANYONE. Billy Ash has not shown up for his depositions! Her’s will be soon. You people talk as if you know anything. You know so much? Who are you then? Billy Ash SAYS he took a polygraph. Well, that’s great he says it… was it court ordered? NO. What he says is irrelevant. She doesn’t need the fame and media attention. I PERSONALLY spoke with Jose Lambient (of the palm beach post) and he said he alone has received 100s of e-mails from Ash. This guy is begging for attention and will try to get it anywhere. Why would she feed into that?
Bill Ash will be deposed January 31 and I heard he’s looking forward to it!
Billy Ash is a conartist and his time will come when “the Lorld will strike down upon him with great vengeance and furious anger”.
You people need help if you think a voodoo curse would work. What is this world coming to?
If someone was saying I murdered someone I’d answer all of the 13 statements and prove him wrong. Jose Lambient forwarded a letter to Bill Ash that the sister sent him and he said could you believe this shit…lol?
So where was he the 3 other times he didn’t show up for his deposition?
Cant wait for January 31, 2008
But Filomena paid the women over $100,000 and her attorney confirmed that in The Daily News and The New York Post. Why would she pay if she didn’t believe in voodoo? You aren’t making sence 4:40
The question is why hasn’t Filomena shown for anything? She hasn’t been deposed. Bill Ash told me he’s looking forward to it. Answer the 13 statements that 4:33 wrote 4:41
How can Billy Ash afford Debra Opri? He should save his money and use it wisely. Perhaps a liposuction?

Bess, Please contact Bill Ash or the police. Look at these post. It’s sick and to say you are going to KILL BILL ASH after this is all about a murder?
BALLIN !!!
BALLIN !!!
BALLIN !!!
BALLIN !!!
I written Bess and asked her to contact the police. No-one should have wriiten they are going to kill someone when this is all about a murder case. I hope the person goes to jail. It’s really sick!
I don’t recall reading anyone saying they were going to kill him! It would be more likely that he would pass from a massive heart attack from too much Mc.D’s.
The police have been called and all IP’s and e-mails have been forwarded to the Jupiter police. I think it’s sick for someone to write Bill Ash sleeps with the fishes when Seth Tobias is dead. Why wouldn’t she kill Bill Ash next. I hope the writer goes to jail. This is a murder case and he’s the main witness. The took this very serious.
Can you please copy and paste the line where someone said they are going to kill Billy Ash? That fat ass is definitely not worth going to jail. The police will take a look at this and just laugh at how childish the allegations are.
Say this to a police officer about him and see if you get arrested when they looking at you for murder. It’s was written 4 times. BILLY ASH sleeps with the fishes. A police report has been filed and all attorney’s notifield as well as the press. This is a murder case. Anyone that would write that when they read what the women has done should be in jail and Debra Opri will not back down.
I know I didn’t write that and when the police looks up the IP addresses, they will be able to see that it was somebody or maybe even Billy Ash. That conartist would do anything to get attention and everyone knows that!

It was acutally BILLY ASH that filed the police report and this just put another nail in Filomena’s coffin
Isn’t it obvious that all the negative posts are from Filomena. Her day will come and I along with many others are looking forward to it. And Yes, I had some dealings with Filomena where she called me on the phone non stop. She made threatening remarks as well as a number of nasty messages on my machine…
Filomena,
I can not wait to see you rot in hell. You are white trash. If someone gave me a hammer I would be happy to nail your coffin shut. He was leaving you and you just wouldn’t have it. He should have left you back in April 06, I believe you black mailed him…Why else would he stay with you. Btw, Really enjoyed the performance at the cemetary…throwing yourself on the coffin..come on now. did you think you fooled anyone for a minute?
Filomena,
Stop bashing Billy Ash on this site. I am shocked that someone as brazen as you would make so many negative comments toward him and not sign your name. He has your act and hopefully, the authorities will figure it out.
Seth was a great guy and somehow he lost the best of himself when he was with you. He didn’t want that life. It just took him a bit to realize it. But he told you he wanted out two weeks before he died. He was coming home-
I think she looks like a man who had a sex change operation between the voice, hands, and facial features….
I agree why would Seth be with someone that looked like her and had a man voice? It cost him his life. Everyone has her act. You should of seen the note she left in my closet and all the threats when she’s always calling Seth’s family and my house. Her day is coming. Filomena did kill Seth Tobias. Her sister needs to go to jail for what was written about Bill Ash. This is a murder case. They must all be crazy in that family.
Filomena,
Thinking about a lot of the women Seth had been with over the years….I just don’t get it. Each one was beautiful and then there is you. You must have been really good in bed or you were black mailing him. I can’t think of any other reason as to why he would have been with you. You definitely don’t fall into the category of beautiful women that’s for sure.
Filomena
Rumor has it you are actually 51….not 41
Any validity to this. Since I met you at the funeral, I would tend to believe that you are all of 51….Btw think you got a little carried away with the injections in your lips…kind of Donald Duck looking
Bess, I would strongly encourage you to do some extensive research from associated press and many other venues besides Billy Ash’s mouth. On a very reputable prominent News website Heidi Fleiss released a statment saying she had no clue who this man was. Even made a condesending comment about Gays.
I belive there may be some truth to his story. Yet he is a very good con-artist. He grossly twists and embellishes things to his advantage. Rumor has it that there are documents and taped conversations of him recently making phone calls fraudulently claiming to be certain individuals. I read in chat rooms here and there that they just might surface after he gives his under oath deposition. Perjury also includes manipulating the truth and half lies. Billy Ash will have a rude awakening and have his credibilty destroyed if these rumors come true. I hope these things are just people making it up. If they could you imagine how hard his house of cards would collapse. If I were the major news stations or Filomena I would send P.I.’s or reports to whatever city he is living in and do some poking around.
If he is being truthful then god bless him. If not I would not want to be him.
Only time will tell

Anonymous, First let me tell you that Billy Ash did great at the depostion and told the truth on what he was told happened that night. Billy Ash could care less if P.I’s are sent. It’s sad that Filomena killed her husband Seth Tobias and her third husband Jay Jacknin told her to use his cell phone when talking to Billy in case her phones were taped. It’s also sad that Jay Jacknin got on and called Billy from his office, cell and than several times from his home to tell him to lie in probate that call was taped. It’s very sad that Billy Ash had to hire a private P.I.’s to go and get statements from all past workers of Filomena’s and Jay’s that they pay there workers in cash and won’t give 1099 and than make threats about taxes when the worker’s don’t do as ordered and Jay’s office represents that area for taxes. Filomena killed Seth. The tox reports are out and his body contained ambien. Jay broke the law and knew he was doing it since he is an attorney. Jay has made claims in the past that Filomena cheated on him, was doing lots of drugs, and threatened to kill him. As far as Heidi goes Billy talks to her camp several times a week so you don’t know what you are talking about. Filomena killed Seth Tobias. Billy feels very sorry for her but wasn’t going to go to jail and cover up her crime as Jay Jacknin did. God Bless Filomena and I hope she doesn’t get death.
I am just waiting with baited breath for Filomena to be charged. Hasn’t his family been through enough? It’s time to charge her for the murder of Seth. I, along with many others are just waiting for her demise. It couldn’t be soon enough.
I agree this sex change Filomena killed poor Seth and I agree that her and her sister have been posting this stuff about Billy Ash. She has made many threats to me and my friends. Her demise is coming. I heard since she couldn’t put off Billy Ash’s depo after trying two times she now put off her own. She’s hiding! Why hide if you did nothing wrong? The medical examiner’s report is out and it backs up Billy Ash’s story that he’s been saying for 5 months. He also passed a polygraph. There are actually a total of 6 people she told things to about that night and they are all a part of the criminal case. She killed Seth. Jay broke the law in the process. Who ever wrote the post about Billy Ash will also go to jail as they should. Filomena KILLED Seth Tobias
Filomena cancelled her depostion so she has time to review Bill Ash’s depostion and fit her story. She’s also thinking an arrest is coming so she doesn’t want them to have her under oath and have time to look at her lies. She’s in trouble. Phyllis murdered Seth in a horrible way.
The Jupiter police have confirmed the case has been sent to the D.A. February 7. We should hear an answer in 7 to 14 days. Also the M.E. reports are not on line Filomena and Nancy. It was huge amounts of crushed ambien in his system. Filomena murdered Seth Tobias. Look at all the facts.
I believe Filomena killed Seth Tobias. Everything points in that direction. I know in my heart that she did it. I believe in an after life. I know Seth Tobias and there is NO way he’s going to forgive or let Filomena get away with killing him. Seth’s mother deserve justice.

Cops Hand Over Seth Tobias Case To The D.A. Filomena has been seen at the pool of The Palm Beach Breakers living it up! Look at the facts in the case. It sure looks like murder to me! There is a full page story on page 22 in The Globe and a cover story coming next week. Filomena cancelled her depostion because they are expecting an arrest and don’t want any statements under oath. God Bless Bill Ash for coming forward!
I just saw a recent picture of Phyllis. She gained a lot of weight and looks really, really old! She killed Seth Tobias!
PALM BEACH POST
No charges seen in mystery-shrouded death
By Jose Lambiet
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Sunday, February 10, 2008
The widow of former CNBC pundit and hedge fund wiz Seth Tobias probably will not be charged in connection with his mysterious death last year, Page Two has learned.
Mike Edmondson, spokesman for State Attorney Barry Krischer, said a final determination in the Jupiter case that fascinated the nation will be made this week, but it probably will not include murder, manslaughter or any other charges against socialite Phyllis Tobias.

What are these?
“Jupiter police have forwarded their entire file to us,” Edmondson said, “and it doesn’t contain any allegation of a crime. That generally means that the agency just wants us to review their work as a way to close out their case.”
Not only could Phyllis Tobias be free of suspicion but also the decision could make her richer. Much richer. Try $30 million and change: Seth’s fortune.
The porky Wall Streeter Seth, 44, was found floating in the pool of the society couple’s sprawling mansion at the exclusive Bears Club on Sept. 4.
Although the death appeared to be an accidental drowning, police traveled to San Diego to grill a potential witness claiming Seth was poisoned.
The witness, Internet psychic Billy Ash, told them the widow admitted during their lengthy phone sessions to killing Seth.
Questions about Ash’s credibility, however, arose quickly. Ash was arrested at least 11 times in South Florida from 1983 through 1997 on charges ranging from prostitution to bouncing checks and staying in a hotel without paying, according to law enforcement records.
Ash was nicknamed “Mr. Madam” for allegedly running male and female hookers out of a Fort Lauderdale office.
What’s more, an e-mail from Ash to Phyllis popping up in court documents shows that Ash demanded Phyllis pay him $25,000 — three days after Seth died. She refused. Weeks later, Ash started e-mailing news organizations around the country that Phyllis killed her husband.
“The $25,000 were just to pay my legal bills,” Ash said Friday, not explaining what the bills were for.
By mid-October, Phyllis also was duking it out with her husband’s family in a Palm Beach Gardens probate court. Tobias’ 2004 will read that his brothers, dad and best friend would receive it all. Florida law, however, made Phyllis sole heir because they had no children together and there was no pre-nup — in addition to their marriage coming a year after the will.
Had Phyllis been convicted of killing her husband, the will would have been enforced.
Instead, she now stands to inherit everything.
When Phyllis Tobias’ lawyer (and ex-husband) Jay Jacknin was told about Edmondson’s statement Friday night, he didn’t seem surprised. Jacknin just returned from San Diego, where he deposed Ash for the probate case.
“I’ve told everybody from the start that Mr. Ash wasn’t credible,” Jacknin said. “His deposition proved it. He never even met Phyllis.”
So, what really did kill Seth Tobias?
Authorities know, but they’re not telling — yet. From several depositions in the probate case, one thing became clear: Seth Tobias lived fast. He had a cocaine habit for more than 25 years and a recently developed alcohol problem.
PALM BEACH POST
No charges seen in mystery-shrouded death

The widow of former CNBC pundit and hedge fund wiz Seth Tobias probably will not be charged in connection with his mysterious death last year, Page Two has learned.
Mike Edmondson, spokesman for State Attorney Barry Krischer, said a final determination in the Jupiter case that fascinated the nation will be made this week, but it probably will not include murder, manslaughter or any other charges against socialite Phyllis Tobias.
“Jupiter police have forwarded their entire file to us,” Edmondson said, “and it doesn’t contain any allegation of a crime. That generally means that the agency just wants us to review their work as a way to close out their case.”
Not only could Phyllis Tobias be free of suspicion but also the decision could make her richer. Much richer. Try $30 million and change: Seth’s fortune.
The porky Wall Streeter Seth, 44, was found floating in the pool of the society couple’s sprawling mansion at the exclusive Bears Club on Sept. 4.
Although the death appeared to be an accidental drowning, police traveled to San Diego to grill a potential witness claiming Seth was poisoned.
The witness, Internet psychic Billy Ash, told them the widow admitted during their lengthy phone sessions to killing Seth.
Questions about Ash’s credibility, however, arose quickly. Ash was arrested at least 11 times in South Florida from 1983 through 1997 on charges ranging from prostitution to bouncing checks and staying in a hotel without paying, according to law enforcement records.
Ash was nicknamed “Mr. Madam” for allegedly running male and female hookers out of a Fort Lauderdale office.
What’s more, an e-mail from Ash to Phyllis popping up in court documents shows that Ash demanded Phyllis pay him $25,000 — three days after Seth died. She refused. Weeks later, Ash started e-mailing news organizations around the country that Phyllis killed her husband.
“The $25,000 were just to pay my legal bills,” Ash said Friday, not explaining what the bills were for.
By mid-October, Phyllis also was duking it out with her husband’s family in a Palm Beach Gardens probate court. Tobias’ 2004 will read that his brothers, dad and best friend would receive it all. Florida law, however, made Phyllis sole heir because they had no children together and there was no pre-nup — in addition to their marriage coming a year after the will.
Had Phyllis been convicted of killing her husband, the will would have been enforced.
Instead, she now stands to inherit everything.

Tobias’ Wife Unlikely to Face Murder Charges

Filomena Tobias, wife of the late hedge fund manager Seth Tobias, is unlikely to face any charges in the death of her husband and could be cleared as soon as this week, according to a reports in the Palm Beach Post that quoted a spokesman for the Palm Beach County State Attorney.
Police in Jupiter, Fla., had forwarded their case file to the State Attorney Barry Krischer’s office for review, but the spokesman said the file included no allegation of a crime–an indication the police merely wanted a final review before closing the case, the report said.
Bill Ash, a former Internet psychic who claimed to be the Tobiases’ assistant, has alleged for months that Filomena drugged and drowned her husband on Labor Day. But as CNBC first reported last week, Ash only made that claim after first demanding $25,000 from Filomena and being rebuffed.
Ash is now alleging a cover-up. He said there is a “mountain of evidence” that Filomena Tobias murdered her husband, and he is vowing to take the case “to a higher level.”
In a lengthy statement emailed to the media Sunday afternoon, Ash said Filomena confessed to him on tape. “The public deserves the truth,” he writes.
Tobias, a frequent CNBC guest and founder of Circle T Partners, drowned in his swimming pool on Labor Day, and reportedly had alcohol, cocaine and the sleeping medication Ambien in his system. He was 44 years old.
Tobias’ four brothers have been trying to use Ash’s story to block Filomena from receiving any of Seth’s estimated $25 million estate. Under Florida law, she inherits all of it, unless the brothers can show she intentionally killed her husband.
The $87 million fund managed by Tobias is being liquidated, according to an attorney for the fund. Two other Circle-T funds run by other managers remain intact.
This Isn’t Over! The F.B.I. Is Reviewing Everything
The F.B.I. is looking at the mountain of evidence. Plus of course there is probate. Filomena killed Seth and all the facts point in that direction. Roy Black is looking to get involved.
I think everyone knows she killed Seth. How would Bill Ash know exactly what would come back in the toxicaligy report unless Filomena told him. Don’t forget they pulled 380 crushed ambien out of Filomena’s personnel safe. The facts point to she killed Seth. It’s better to be rich and have tons of lawyers.
I know Filomena very well. Grow up children. She loved her husband, is not crazy, is a wonderful mother and this is bullshit. Her “lawyer” is her ex hubby whom she is friends with and advised her to not take a b.s. non revelent, not dependable polygraph. This is not CSI, stop watching trash television and get educated retards. ENVY is the only word that applies in most of these posts. Peter.
