I agree with you. The only evidence that CONNEB is Saudi Arabian owned is because this 'researcher' simply plugged "CONNEB" into a Google boolean search, and it spat out the LinkedIn page of one Abdul Ammer Adel, finding "CON.N.E.B" on his employment history. ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/adel-ameen-amer-09bb2a52 ) Superficial sleuthing ...
... other than this, there is no connection between Saudi Arabia and CONNEB at all. In fact, the truth is that CONNEB is clearly just an anagram of CONnecticut and NEBraska (ie, CON + NEB = CONNEB ), because this block of property is at the corner of Connecticut Ave NW and Nebraska Ave NW, so it has nothing to do with this 'Saudi connected' boolean sleuthing - for God's sakes people!
In fact, two real-estate holding companies were created on January 15th 2003: CONNEB I LLC, and CONNEB II LLC, in order to consolidate but partition the properties owned by the previous lot owners, no doubt for ease of Tax filing, P&L assessment, and LLC protection (most people who own multiple lots in one place will eventually consolidate their holdings into a single corporate body).
In fact, the dead giveaway was the $0 purchase price, which proves that the original Lot Title owners were the ones who incorporated the CONNEB II LLC, because they DIDN'T have to sell Lot's they already owned to themselves ... obviously.
It would seem that many of the posters on Voat that talk about the property purchases don't have the faintest idea of how real estate entities and corporate shells are created and managed ... which is highly frustrating.
The original owners are actually the Jewish Cohen family (Carla and David) who were long-time founder owner operators of the Politics & Prose bookstore, which has always been a Democrat stronghold, and it seems that the ex-Washington Post journalist/editor couple of Bradley Graham and Lissa Muscatine must have purchased or at least become majority owners of CONNEB II LLC, because they are now referred to since 2013 as the 'owners' of Politics & Prose, though the property records indicate that it is still owned by CONNEB II LLC. This means that the WashPo duo since 2013 actually probably own the Title of Besta Pizza and Buck's Fishing & Camping through CONNEB, and that Hammad and Alefantis are only owners of a Lease (CPP however is owned Freehold by Alefantis through BIG CHEESE LLC, bought for $1.8 million in 2005 ... and Alefantis must have bought the lease for Bucks later on in 2005, but NOT the Title).
NOTE: The dead giveaway that the heirs of the Cohen estate were/are the owners/now part-owners of CONNEB II LLC, is that the Title of Little Red Fox was sold July 13th 2007 (before Carla and David Cohen died; 2010 & 2015 respectively), to one Barry R. Cohen, for $0 -- THIS IS KEY, because Barry R. Cohen is the only purchaser on record who received a property TITLE from Carla & David Cohen (CONNEB II LLC) for $0, whereas everyone else like Alefantis paid for their Freehold. Obviously Barry R. Cohen (who isn't the owner of the Lease, only the Title) of Little Red Fox, is obviously a side relation of the P&P Cohen's, because they only have one son Aaron and daughter Eve ... though I suppose he could be a grandson through Aaron Cohen.
I wrote much more about the Cohen family and CONNEB on a recent dedicated subverse:
... where I explain the connection between this Cohen (and Furstenberg) Jewish family/s, and Americans for Democratic Action, which was a Socialist Party of America creation, NOT a Democratic Party creation, though it merged into (or may have taken over) the Democratic Party post-WWII. These families were multi-generational ADA big-wigs, and David Cohen was heavily connected to George Soros and his J Street 'Zionist' lobby (though conventional Zionists like Netanyahu despise J Street, because the latter want a three-state-solution, where Jerusalem and Bethlehem become an International Zone under the United Nations.)
CONNEB II LLC thus has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia, and is actually more connected to Soros aligned Jewish interests attached to the ADA and J Street ... unless of course Graham and Muscatine are now the full owners through their purchase of Politics & Prose, but they are still both heavily connected to Hillary Clinton and the 'liberal' Establishment ... explaining why WashPo is attacking Pizzagate researchers so heavily (they seem to be the lead attack dog).
