I was puzzled by that price, too, even in a down market. The name of Pomerantz’ widow, who was the final owner who sold for such a low price, is Kukiko Mitani. This sounds to me like a Japanese name, so she’s probably not a Muslim. In that case, there must be some other angle, perhaps, as suggested, a tax dodge of some kind.
Names are irrelevant in islam.
Their names change w/o going through the normal format that civilized people use because our laws are superseded by islamic law.
Just a small point.
They do it all the time in foreign countries, put a low figure on the deeds price that is taxed and the rest gets bunged under the table.
That extra cash will have been bunged in some swiss bank account somewhere or in the caymans.
It smells to high heaven.
