NFL great Emmitt Smith, business partners sued by Cherokee group
Kituwah LLC says the loan funded a solar farm that never started and seeks repayment, interest and damages from Smith and David Mosley.
Kituwah LLC, the investment arm of the Band of Cherokee, is suing former Dallas Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith for $2.5 million over an alleged unpaid loan dating back two years.
The investment firm alleges the funds were designated for a solar project that never started, accusing Smith and his business partner David Mosley of running a scheme to pay off debt instead.
With the loan past due, the Native American company seeks the original $2.5 million plus interest, costs, and damages, reporting they have yet to receive any repayment.
During his Hall of Fame career, Smith established himself as the NFL's all-time rushing leader with 18,355 yards and 164 touchdowns across 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.
This legal dispute brings negative attention to Smith's energy company, 4 13 Solutions, with observers hoping for quick resolution to the situation.
