did you account for this post which apparently challenges the Saudi tie...

Do you not understand how things work? Please hear me out.

Real Estate Developer (Conneb II) based in DC buys strip mall. Their Brokerage firm, HA-Gill handles brokerage and rental properties in their name.

HA GIll executes lease agreements with the business. They must file occupancy and use permits with DC Gov, and by law must have a registered agent that has an active law degree.

Andrew Kline, of the veritas group on 19th ST is a specialist in the hospitality management, and is the registered agent for over 100 DC based restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops.

To properly discern the owners, you have to search for the CEO, Governing Agent, or owner depending on if the business is licensed as a Corp, LLC, or S-Corp.

The owner of Besta Pizza is Abdel Rahman Hammad according to the DC official filing. A cross-reference with MD where Besta has a second location shows he's an inactive owner, and the current managing member is Mohamed Zahow - Who shows as owning A Pizza Boli's in this location for 23 years. Pizza Boli's is a franchise all over MD and DC. I'm betting he bought out Abdel Hammad and changed the name they do business as to Besta Pizza recently (within the last 5 years.)

Of course we know that Comet is "Big Cheese LLC" with James Alefantis as the CEO of the Corporation.

Andrew Kline didn't get "gifted" property, he's the registrar and attorney on retainer. Check out his website about hospitality registration: http://www.theveritaslawfirm.com/ras.htm

and many of his clients: http://theveritaslawfirm.com/hospitality-clients/

When you are searching property rentals, especially if there was a recent sale, the registrar would have to resubmit documents to DC Gov. That's why the dates all match, even if a sale didn't occur on that date, just a renewal/replacement of the filing. It would show $0 as the corp/llc/s-corp doesn't purchase the property, they are on a lease to rent.

Let's focus on real leads here. This inability to understand basic business makes us look like tin foil wearers.
