One of the most influential men in the nation’s capital is livid with Internet sleuths who suspect him of having ties to a sex-trafficking ring.
The New York Times interviewed James Alefantis, the owner of a restaurant called Comet Ping Pong in Washington, on Tuesday to dispel rumors that he is tied to a child-abuse ring. Stolen documents belonging to former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, which were made public by WikiLeaks, linked the two men and sparked crowd-sourced research into his life on Reddit and 4Chan.
“From this insane, fabricated conspiracy theory, we’ve come under constant assault,” Mr. Alefantis, 42, told the newspaper. “I’ve done nothing for days but try to clean this up and protect my staff and friends from being terrorized.”
Reddit, YouTube, and Twitter users claim that “PizzaGate” should not be dismissed as a baseless conspiracy theory, given bizarre and sexually suggestive images from Mr. Alefantis’ own Instagram account (now set to private).

“Angry denials are almost always a dead giveaway of guilt.”
Yeah, if there was nothing there he’d have filed suit.
Brother, I don't think that can be right.
I believe this guy is as guilty as sin, but let's go by the evidence. Otherwise we're back in Salem.
my immediate first thought
WTH is that!?!?!?
Well, who didn’t play jokes like that on their godchildren/nieces/nephews /s
I’m pretty crazy and took the kids in the camaro when they were probably too young many years ago, but this NEVER EVER crossed my mind.
BTW, Happy Thanksgiving :)
I have never seen the other logos except for Comet Pizza.
I’ve seen you post that on other threads, but for the life of me, I can not understand what you are trying to tell us with it ....
There were real witches in the Crucible, the nature of that story was to ask whether you should trust the word of witches being compelled under oath to ID other witches in the cell/coven.
There were Communists in the United States as well (the basis for the witches in the Crucible). We were told that these witches/Communists meant no harm and were not in league with foreign powers (USSR/KGB) to engage in naked sedition against this country.
Did he spill a can of pizza sauce?
Does that costume comply with health codes for people working in a food preparation establishment?
He doth protest too much. Turn up the heat.

All the power elite in DC—and in our nation, and in the whole world—are as nothing in the face of their sins revealed to the people.
I’m not saying we should convict people based upon their emotional response to being charged.
I’m saying that the emotional response often reveals guilt or innocence.
By being David Brock’s boyfriend - or he was until about five years ago.
“Is Comet Ping pong still in business?”......
Surprised that its not burned down yet?
From the article, “Mr. Alefantis, who came in at No. 49 on GQ magazine’s list of the 50 most powerful people in Washington in 2012, has contacted the FBI and local police to assist him in dealing with threats. He has also asked social media giants to censor posts on the story, which has gone viral across the globe.”
Must be getting pretty hot for Alefantis, he’s “asked” the social media giants to “censor” posts.
Interesting that the founder of Reddit admitted to changing some pro-Trump posters’ posts. They really are pushing the envelope on censorship to protect their power.
Every day I Thank God Trump won!! Best Thanksgiving ever ;)
Their excuse? Harassment, doxxing, and alleging vandalism. Those are all actions that Reddit has done towards the pro-Trump community - some of it from those moderators, some from the admins.
Isn't that what all innocent people do? /s
Yeah... Like with a “handkerchief”... From a creepy email from Susan Sandler.
