Federal Grand Jury Probes Neville Roy Singham's Funding Network for U.S. Leftist Groups
A federal grand jury in Manhattan is investigating alleged financial crimes by Neville Roy Singham, a China-based tech executive who channeled hundreds of millions of dollars into a network of socialist, communist and Marxist organizations across the United States, according to sources familiar with the matter. The probe, authorized by Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche and led by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton of the Southern District of New York, is examining potential wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering tied to Singham's financial network.
A federal grand jury in Manhattan is investigating alleged financial crimes by Neville Roy Singham, a China-based tech executive who channeled hundreds of millions of dollars into a network of socialist, communist and Marxist organizations across the United States, according to sources familiar with the matter. The probe, authorized by Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche and led by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton of the Southern District of New York, is examining potential wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering tied to Singham's financial network.
Scope of the Investigation
The grand jury has issued subpoenas seeking bank records and other financial documents from organizations within Singham's network, sources said. Prosecutors presented evidence to the grand jury as they assess whether sufficient grounds exist to pursue criminal charges against Singham, the organizations he funded or their leaders.
Fox News Digital reported earlier this year that Singham directed $285 million from Shanghai into U.S.-based entities through three channels: a philanthropic arm of Goldman Sachs — the GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund For Wealth Management Inc. — and two shell corporations that have since been dissolved. Investigators are examining the movement of money across that network under the three stages typically scrutinized in money-laundering cases: placement of funds into the financial system, layering through multiple entities to obscure origin, and integration back into apparently legitimate grants and organizational support.
Fox News Digital mapped 223 transactions between 2017 and 2025, tracing $591 million across five continents through 67 core groups in the Singham network. The outlet documented $278 million flowing directly from Singham into organizations operating in the United States.
Goldman Sachs and Treasury Secretary's Role
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent traveled to New York City earlier this year for a meeting with Goldman Sachs Chairman and Chief Executive David Solomon, according to sources. The discussion centered on Goldman's philanthropic arm and its role in facilitating the movement of Singham's money into U.S. nonprofits. Sources said Bessent warned that Goldman Sachs could face scrutiny for alleged conspiracy and urged Solomon to cooperate with federal investigators. Solomon pledged his cooperation, sources said. A Treasury Department spokesman declined to comment, as did a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office.
By mid-May, Solomon joined a delegation of American business leaders accompanying President Donald Trump and Bessent to China for meetings with President Xi Jinping and other Chinese Communist Party officials.
Jodie Evans Named as Target
Singham's wife, Jodie Evans — co-founder of Code Pink, whom Singham married in February 2017 — is also a target of the investigation, sources said. Evans served as a board member of multiple U.S. organizations that Singham funded.
Singham sold his company, ThoughtWorks, for an estimated $785 million to London-based private equity firm Apax Partners the same year. Federal investigators are examining that transaction for potential ties to the Chinese Communist Party, sources told Fox News Digital. Apax Partners declined to disclose the names of investors in that sale.
Singham and Evans have not responded to requests for comment. Nicholas Biase, spokesman for the Southern District of New York, declined to comment.
