So... De Blasio's answer is basically that they're doing routine due diligence and vetting to make sure Steve Cohen is "allowed" to do business with the city of New York.
He won't say what, at all, they're specifically questioning Cohen about.
Now...

Cohen has a... past. I mean, he's billionaire hedge fund manager. There's a history there.
But, I think the problem is that if Cohen was going to do some kind of gentrification deal with the City, they'd absolutely let him. So I don't know why he can't buy the Mets.

In any event, I think they'll let it go through. I think this is just, to use a baseball term, "a little chin music." They're throwing an inside fastball, to remind him that they can, but, they're not trying to bean him.
