With the Pegasus project and all that it entails, I believe we can now see quite clearly the MO of these fuckers.
What they need is
1) a place to display the merchandise (children)
2) a place to receive the buyers
3) a place where the adults can view the merchandise discretely
4) a place to pick up the merchandise (tbd, I still like the tunnels, other methods could raise suspicion)
5) A friendly neighborhood ANC
In the case of Pegasus they did just that: buy a front - the museum - to receive potential buyers. Take control of a place for display (Trolley Park, controlled by Alefantis acquaintance Dubeshter), take control of the neighborhood by buying other properties (Alefantis' Blue House fronting Pegasus, the suspicious white house next to it(?), Dubeshter and his partner John Henderson's extensive 11th street properties) and, finally, take control of neighborhood management by installing ANC's (Dubeshter).
And what they did at Pegasus is almost a mirror-image of what they did at Comet Ping Pong. Display the merchandise (ping pong rooms), have a place close to receive buyers (e.g. Buck's), control the neighborhood by owning, controlling or buying properties (Besta Pizza, Politics & Prose, the McCullough/Rockefeller place etc.) and control the ANC's (this is why they HAD to get rid of Frank Winstead by gaslighting and fear mongering).
This MO is by now so clearly established that I think we may try some deductive reasoning and see if they have deployed the same method before, and where.

This is ridiculous. The Ping Pong Rooms are to "display the merchandise?" Why would you choose a spot that is completely open to the public. Why would you even need "the merchandise" on display?
Why not just have a small anonymous office somewhere where you show pictures of the merchandise? That takes care of 1, 2 and 3 above? And then the completely ridiculous #5 becomes irrelevant.
Why go through the trouble of running two active restaurants?

You would choose a spot entirely open to the public because then there is no suspicion. You would need the children on public display because buyers are bidding for them as regular kids.
You would not use a small office because that would require depots, separate LLC's etc. Buyers wouldn't come because 1) the children would see them 2) the handler would see them and 3) there is no delivery route.

The buyers are bidding for them as regular kids ? What does this mean?
How would you distinguish "merchandise kids" from "regular customer kids?"
Depots? I don't know what you mean here. Having an LLC for office business is trivial? I really don't get your small office scenario at all, not following all of this in general. No delivery route? Why wouldn't you be able to deliver them the same way you would if Comet was the "store."

@AreWeSure ... You're always deliberately obtuse. This is an annoying quality and if you're going to anoint yourself as the official #pizzagate devil's advocate, you need to start bringing some substance.
