Two stories today about UAE selling off two huge NYC real estate investments

One story is about Abu Dhabi government fund & Tishman Speyer putting the Chrysler Building on the market - Abu Dhabi Investment Council had paid $800 million for a 90% stake
therealdeal.com/2019/01/09/abu…
And a majority stake in 330 Madison Ave owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is heading to the sales market at pricing expected to reach nearly $1 billion
nypost.com/2019/01/08/mos…
I don't know that these two sales have any significance, but the size of the deals seems notable and worth keeping an eye on.

In 1964 the #FBI diligently investigated the kidnapping and murder of three civil rights volunteers in Mississippi, and continued to pursue the perpetrators over the next 40 years, bringing the last one to justice in 2005. fbi.gov/history/famous… #FBI110
The #FBI conducted some 25,000 interviews and ran down tens of thousands of leads following the murder of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. 50 years later, former SA Robert Frazier recalled working on the case. Watch here: fbi.gov/news/stories/t… #FBI110
The extensive #FBI investigation into JFK’s assassination showed that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he fired the rifle that killed the President. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/famous…
