It turns out that James co-owns a restaurant in Berlin Germany called Nalu Diner
http://www.nalu-diner.de/
The "restaurant" section mentions that James grew in up in "Indiana and Hawaii". Seems he lived in Berlin for a while too.
The address is Dunckerstraße 80a, 10437 Berlin -
just a few blocks away from Dr Pong, which is located at Eberswalder Str. 21, 10437 Berlin
If you map both of these locations, they are approximately 800 yards away from each other.
We know it is James Alefantis from this article https://www.mrporter.com/journal/mr-porter-eats/the-worlds-best-diners/795
from April of this year! He still owns it.
That's an insane "coincidence" considering people were investigating Dr Pong in Berlin for the last month.

Oliver Miller (Dr Pong) is actually his business partner and co owner of Nalu with him.

Yes, it seems so. Oliver Miller can be seen in this YouTube promotional for Dr. Pong.
Apparently concrete Ping Pong Tables are a mainstay of Berlin in public spaces (there are 700+ of them and Berliners are obsessed).
