Letter to Donald Covington, president, the Piano Store

Regarding Scott Covington fraudulently obtaining a credit report on Larry Sinclair, the letter at this link was sent to Covington's father who is reportedly the president of the Piano Store.   How the autotrack information fits into the story is something of incredible interest to this writer.  This methodology and associated story is somehow hauntingly familiar, although it is alleged by Mr. Sinclair that drugs are moving via UPS and Fed Ex in and out of the store.

Scott Covington and Joe Cafasso

Joe Cafasso remains underground to date, and I have been told by people in the business of finding people that he does not want to be found.  This is unfortunate because I am aware of a number of people who are interested in locating his whereabouts.

Nevertheless, remnants of Cafasso's methods remain; and in fact, Scott Covington of the Piano Store fraud fame, has picked up in some areas where Cafasso left off.

There are, however, some differences that I've been able to distinguish: Covington does not travel the country like Cafasso seems to like to do 

- he has a home and a wife, and a business - the Piano Store, in Houston, Texas.  But, like Cafasso, Covington has bilked people out of money, and his father paid restitution to customers who never received deliveries of pianos they ordered through the Piano Store.

Covington at a point in time was signing comments as "Mitch" Covington, and a blog called "The Mitch and Nan Show" emerged on the web.  This was shortly after Larry Sinclair came out publicly on youtube with allegations of homosexual sex with Barack Obama in the back of a limo in 1999, and later in a hotel room in Gurnee, Illinois.  "The Mitch and Nan Show" took some pages out of the Cafasso playbook when they printed an autotrack report on "Cao" from Cao's blog that re-emerged on Cafasso's blog, Stuporpatriots---AFTER blogspot had it removed.

An autotrack report is used by police and insurance companies in order to investigate a person's background.  But a person who has an account to run those reports is bound to an agreement that prevents them from public disclosure of the contents.  Cafasso violated the terms of service with the company, Locateplus, that ran that report on Cao, but Covington is merely using names and addresses of associates of Larry Sinclair in order to harass them.  It would be interesting to find out if Locateplus also ran that report on Sinclair; as there seems to be a connection in methods between Cafasso and Covington; and even an exchange of information taking place between them.

Covington had written in 2008 that he would never be afraid of Sinclair and referred to him as an insignificant gnat; a "common criminal".  But it is rather interesting that within a short period of time- he would deny who he is when it is clearly Covington's voice on the phone at the number which shows Scott Covington on the caller ID.  You can compare the voices by playing back the audio at the piano-delivery blog - where Covington is exposed as a con artist that doesn't deliver pianos that his company is paid to deliver.

Further, Covington's father paid over $750,000 in restitution to customers of the Piano store in order to keep Covington's butt out of jail and avoid charges of fraud.

And now, Covington aka Mitch, is using an autotrack report on Larry Sinclair in order to contact people that are assumed his associates from that report, but not being very intelligent, Covington is using the number that shows "Scott Covington" on the caller ID.

This is where Covington is not as clever as Cafasso, because at least Cafasso is able to travel under aliases without raising a lot of suspicion; at least initially.

Cafasso and France

I'll have to go through my archives, because there is a considerable body of information here - but it was just brought to my attention that Cafasso has claimed in the past to have another home in FRANCE.

We have been on a long quest to find this abuser of women; the man who skips out on his child support payments and has pretended to be a Lt. Col. when he was actually thrown out of the army, like Jesse MacBeth, after only 44 days of service as being 'insuitable'.  

Remember, too, that this man is so desperate for attention he has announced in front of groups of people that he killed a child when he was in Vietnam...only he was never in Vietnam.

Habitual pathological liars tend to find a) people like them, or b) people as prey.

It would seem to me - if this unholy alliance is in fact real, that Covington the felony larcenist and scammer, has teamed up with Cafasso the experienced con artist.

That's the theory we've come up with....but we'll have to watch and learn to see if Covington and the others over at the Mitch and Nan Show have been taken in by a guy who has many email addresses under numerous names and has even been known to tip himself off as another person and forward the emails he's sent to himself as evidence of complete fantasies he's cooked up in Jersey.

Cramer was bamboozled by the guy; and many others have been.  So why not the Obama camp?  He would fit right in.

con artists banding together?

The Mitch and Nan Show used information from Stuporpatriots that had been taken down by blogger-but reappeared on a blog post at Stuporpatriots about Pelton's ridiculous book, "License to Kill"-- in order to intimidate Cao of Cao's blog.

Cafasso would rather beat women than fight like a man.  Judging from the phone call that Covington made to Larry Sinclair's mother in an attempt to extort money, it would appear they have a lot in common.

We've seen this before.  It's the same approach that was taken in the past, and it's interesting that Cafasso is so intent on recycling that information.  He may be laughing about the stupidity of the world with his disappearing act, but he's leaving a trail, nevertheless.

We've seen the same presentation on the posts, too.

The Mitch and Nan Show reminds us of Stuporpatriots for a number of reasons.

Take a look at these comparisons, from 10-31 and YWN.

The truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction, and in Cafasso's story, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's somehow managed to have his way with these people - even using another alias.

speaking of con artists....Scott Covington fits the profile

Since Scott Covington of Houston, Texas stole some information on Cao from Stuporpatriots, it seemed fitting to put a little information on Covington here.

Covington fits the profile of someone who wants to follow in Cafasso's footsteps; he apparently reads stuporpatriots, or is in contact with Cafasso himself.

Either way, it's interesting that Covington is reportedly pretending to be a frenchman at the Mitch and Nan Show, calling himself "Mitch". Yet, as some have indicated, his IP address has been showing up as a Houston IP address when he leaves comments on blogs - until someone tipped him off how to cloak it and make it appear as though he's posting from Amsterdam.

The Mitch and Nan Show seems to be devoted to attacking one Larry Sinclair in a similar manner to which Cafasso attacked Jack Idema and his supporters. Sinclair came out with a youtube video about Barack Obama in the early part of this year.

They have been posting about Sinclair's criminal record as reason not to believe Sinclair's allegations, and attacked Sinclair's mother, and posted personal information about as many people as they could find, which is also a Cafasso trademark. In fact, information on Cao from that infamous autotrack from December 17, 2005 still exists at Stuporpatriots, only on a post talking about reviews from Pelton's book, "License to Kill".

There seems to be some overlap here.

Covington's houston Cingular number is 832-331-5624, and is verified as belonging to Covington, although it was supposedly Mitch's number.

As slick as people like this seem to think they are, their past cannot elude them.

Covington has a past history of Larceny in Texas and passing bad checks in Missouri.
