This just in from our team at Bannister's Wharf

We should frame this story by saying that Cafasso has claimed in the past that he owns all kinds of real estate, and has even professed to having owned a clipper ship that was being refurbished at Bannister's Wharf. This heightened our curiosity because of several factors; 1) he's a known liar 2) he's a known liar who has scammed some of the best journalists out there and 3) he's a known liar who has also been known to beat up and threaten people. This last piece of intelligence is fairly well-known within the circles of people, like us, who have had unfortunate run-in's with the man. This is a fellow who simply can't keep his out-of-control temper in check. And his delusions of grandeur have gotten the best of him, so in the most pressing circumstances, his obsessive compulsive personality disorder emerges in full force. If someone stops believing him, he resorts to threats and violence. Or he takes the coward's way out like he did with Fox, saying that he's going to come back and set the record straight while sweating bullets to get away from the people that found him out.

Then he relaxes and comes up with another scheme.

Believe it or not, in addition to his considerable bs on the military, he's got another 'claim to fame' which is affection for clipper ships and the history involved in them.

We have to consider the air, the ambiance, of the beautiful Newport area before we go on. The sprawling mansions, the incredible yachts and sailing boats, and.... Bannister's Wharf. It is at Bannister's Wharf where Joe Cafasso's clipper ship was being outfitted and modernized and undergoing an overhaul, according to Joe. This is a story he loved to tell, and which many people were witnesses to. You just have to give credit where credit is due. Giovanna raised a boy who turned into a man that never outgrew a child's active imagination.

Dream on, Joe...you never owned the sprawling home in Newport overlooking the Atlantic - although I'm sure that tale raised some eyebrows and impressed people. You never even owned the place in Normandy, France, you said you had, either. And you never had a 1940's clipper - named NUKEATER at Bannister's Wharf, either.

You might have had ties to a "law firm" in Warwick, but that might have been because of Uncle Angelo, the man who pled guilty to conspiracy to commit extortion in addition to actual extortion charges.

As to your claim of going to Brown University, that was your father, not you. For some reason I feel as though I'm in the movie "psycho" with Cafasso playing the Anthony Perkins psycho.

So...your beautiful 1940's clipper boat? You know. The one that was moored at Bannisters? Every time I step into one of these fraudulent claims, I'm always surprised, and I keep saying that it has surpassed the last tale. Truth be told; they're all extremely brazen and far-out, but when you take all of them together, this man has just about every con artist I've ever heard about beat tenfold. It was very easy for our team to stop to check this nutty story out. They interviewed the management at Bannisters and all the other adjacent docks and these men are real boat lovers who would have known if a 1940's clipper was there. Then you emailed around a picture of the boat! It was very easy to verify that this entire fantasy was as fake as the day is long.

Joe Cafasso is an amazingly cunning liar with venom and hate for the world. So twisted, he gives a bad name to pretzels and sailing knots!
