They are pushing this HARD now.
First of all, we already know that the Andrew Kline listed as "agent" on Besta Pizza is just an attorney who filed the paperwork, and we know that the Andrew Kline in the DOJ is a different Andrew Kline.

Secondly, I have seen zero evidence of a Saudi connection to Besta Pizza, other than someone with an Arab name (Abdel Rahman Hammad) being listed as "governor" in business filing for the location. Remember that LegionWill was pushing this without providing SOURCES, and he was OUTED AS A SHILL and deleted his account.
Also, the video posted on youtube by "Random Rants of Ryan" is disinformation. If you put the video quality to where you can actually read what's on the screen, it is showing businesses owned by 3 different people, none of which are Abdel Rahman Hammad. They are 3 different people named "Hammad Abdelrahman." This is like confusing people named Michael Johnson for someone name John Michaelson.
NOTE: I do believe there is a Saudi connection, but these disinformants are trying to send us on a wild goose chase and get us to promote fake evidence (and possibly slander an innocent man) so we discredit ourselves! Be careful! Investigate any alleged evidence CLOSELY and CAREFULLY, and DEMAND SOURCES/EVIDENCE.

didn't someone find that the whole block was bought by a Saudi company and sold for $0 - or was this debunked?

Well, the block was in fact purchased on the same day, and by the same company. CON NEB LiC, and a property management company based in Northern Virginia. He was claiming that he found evidence that CON NEB was a Saudi company. I haven't found any evidence as to what this company really is.
CONNEB I LLC appears to be a company registered in Vienna, VA. The location is a single family home. I'd swing by and check out who it is, but that house was sold in October. The registered agent was a "Kevin McCarthy". This could be the actual agent, or the owner of the LLC acting as an agent. The business entity claims an alternate address at H.A Gill (the aforementioned property company) There are a few notable Kevin McCarthy's in the area. One is a US congressman from California. The other is a man who works investment brokerage for AFL-CIO (interesting). Another is a doctor with his own clinic in Bethesda, MD.
It speaks more to the possibility that the block is owned by a single man who lets a property management team handle the day to day operations (for a fee, of course). Of course, there is the possibility that it could be someone managing property for a foreign entity.
As far as the block being sold for $0, that's how it appears in real estate databases. In the DC government property queries, the sales price appears as "unavailable". I talked to a family member who worked commercial real estate in DC - and she said that reports like that aren't that uncommon. It may be that they simply failed to report to the agencies what the actual sales price was, possibly a transfer of title from an older version of a company to a newer (perhaps a restructure), possibly the addition of the management company on the title, or one of a number of other things. Some possibilities are more suspicious than others.
I should also add that selling an entire block is actually very common practice in DC.

As far as I'm aware, no evidence (let alone proof) was ever provided. It was promoted by LegionWill, who was outed as a shill and deleted his account. Note that nobody has replied in this thread to provide evidence.
