James Alefantis, Comet Art, and Symbol-Mapping Claims
Public murals and Instagram-era imagery associated with Comet Ping Pong and owner James Alefantis became a 2016 symbol-mapping claim-set. Artist Arrington de Dionyso and clarifying reporting deny trafficking readings; the U.S. v. Welch complaint records an armed entry motivated by those stories. The Archive documents the public images and claim-set beside artist/court doors without baptizing basement trafficking or erasing that the images circulated—under contested / L3 living-person care.
