I thought the owner was Big Cheese, LLC?

James Alefantis is the landlord of his pizza shop.
The Christopher Achilles LLC entity is the corporation that controls the property holding at 5037 Conn. Ave.
The Big Cheese LLC entity is the corporation that controls the business within that property, namely Comet Ping Pong.
One company for the real estate, another for the business. James Alefantis controls both companies.

Okay. That's a lot of money. Who put up the cash? Didn't someone say the Saudis actually own the buildings?

As for the Saudis, note how this pizzagate thing went radioactive as soon as their potential involvement was suggested.

The Saudi mention led to the gunman showing up the next day at CPP to derail everything.
