**HUGE LEAD** James Alefantis AKA JimmyComet Owns Mysterious House With Hidden Rear Complex with Bars on the WindowsSeriousSecondBird | 31 points
The only way this is going anywhere is some good old-fashioned citizen journalism.
Someone who lives in or near D.C. is gonna have to look into this with a smartphone/GoPro camera.

I feel you. I would march down there in a hot minute in a very nosy fashion if I could.

But the property with bars on the windows is an end unit. The one he owns is sandwiched between two other units. So I'm not seeing how this is a huge lead

This is such a stretch. While I do believe this Jimmy comet dude is complete sketch, barred windows and a scooter by the garbage can is just a reach.

Did I get the address right? I had to type the address in manually, but the place looks different?

That's just the sun washing out the roof and a grainy photo. The things that look like eyes are probably more windows/air ducts like the other ones

Here is a closer look with a child's scooter and bed-end thown out?

Not sure how significant this is - it's behind his actual address anyway.

That's an ironing board and scooter, but the scooter is important. So far every place these people are associated with have obvious signs of children being there like toys and scooters, that tells us something imo

They appear on satellite image to belong to the house next door to Alefatness' house, which is different from the building with iron bars & a garage door.

Repairs of rear porch and steps in a single family dwelling.
There seems to be no rear porch. How old is the google earth image.
Anyone live nearby?

Why do you believe Alefatness owns both of the buildings you're picturing here? The permit asserts he only owns one of them.
Also, per google maps the area with the ironing board & scooter appear to be for the house next door to his.

Good to have an address, but bar proove nothing. For a wealthy man, i'm betting it's not his primary residence though, so what's it used for? Any other connections/businesses linked to this address?

Lots of entrances to this place and two garage doors. Window open up top at the front. Looks like the entrance to the left could be a club of some-kind with a lef-over been can by the door. Seems strange, but we can't link this to him on the basis it's behind his property.

Remember based on Comet Pizza, they like to hold multiple buildings around the same location. It's worth looking into. IMO.

Something potentially worth looking into, but don't act like it's "HUGE" until we actually find something incriminating. What is the significance of the gnome/rabbit supposed to be?
"WTF is DOWN HERE"? Looks pretty normal to me.

Yeah I've lived in plenty of houses with bars on the window.
It's so people don't break in...

Point being, top 50 most powerful person in DC and suspected pedo randomly buying sketchy home with large rear compound next to a park? makes sense to me

I agree, this is uncharacteristic of a wealthy couple.

Could a place they plan to flip. There are a lot of parks in DC.

Its in a rapidly gentrifying area. So bars on windows are from the fact that the neighborhood was dangerous 5-10 years ago. Its now a hip spot to live and the houses are expensive. Y'all retarded.

Describing it as a "complex" or "compound" is a bit much IMO

To be fair I doubt these guys are abducting kids from the park, they would have been busted long ago.
