&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Growing Investigation<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The Justice Department has reportedly launched a federal grand jury investigation into one of the largest political funding networks in modern American history&period; At the center of the investigation is Neville Roy Singham&comma; a wealthy former technology executive who sold his software consulting company&comma; ThoughtWorks&comma; for an estimated &dollar;785 million in 2017 before relocating to Shanghai&comma; China&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">According to Fox News Digital and subsequent reporting&comma; federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have issued grand jury subpoenas seeking bank records and financial documents as they investigate whether Singham&comma; organizations connected to his network&comma; or their leaders committed wire fraud&comma; bank fraud&comma; money laundering&comma; or other financial crimes&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">No criminal charges have been filed&comma;

a global information technology consulting company&period; Following the company’s sale in 2017&comma; he reportedly shifted his attention away from business and toward political activism&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Today&comma; Singham reportedly resides in Shanghai&comma; where Fox News Digital documented his participation in conferences promoting what he described as a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;new world order” aligned with Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party&period; During one speech&comma; Singham referred to the United States as a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;fascist” nation while expressing support for China’s political direction&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Investigators also reported uncovering a 172 page document in which Singham allegedly outlined a political strategy inspired by Mao Zedong’s concept of a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;people’s war&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">His wife&comma; Jodie Evans&comma; co-founded CodePink and has reportedly served on the boards of several organizations receiving funding connected to Singham&period; According to the reporting&comma; Evans has also become part of the broader federal investigation&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Following Hundreds of Millions of Dollars<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The sheer scale of the financial network identified by investigators is difficult to ignore&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">According to Fox News Digital’s investigation&comma; reporters mapped 223 financial transactions between 2017 and 2025 that moved approximately &dollar;591 million across five continents through 67 core organizations within what has become known as the Singham network&period; Those organizations reportedly partner with hundreds of additional groups worldwide&comma; creating an extended network of roughly 2&comma;000 organizations that Fox News Digital reported have amplified anti-U&period;S&period; and pro-China messaging&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">According to the investigation&comma; approximately &dollar;278 million of the total moved directly from Singham into organizations operating inside the United States before being redistributed through nonprofit organizations and activist groups&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The reported placement of the money allegedly began with three primary channels&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Approximately &dollar;164 million reportedly flowed into Mutod LLC&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">More than &dollar;110 million reportedly passed through Goldman Sachs’ donor-advised philanthropy fund&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Another &dollar;3&period;5 million reportedly moved through Likewise Conceptions LLC&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">According to investigators&comma;

Tricontinental Ltd&period;&comma; CodePink Women for Peace&comma; and Breakthrough BT Media&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The investigation further alleges that these organizations redistributed at least another &dollar;223 million throughout a worldwide network of activist organizations&comma;

prosecutors are examining what investigators commonly describe as placement&comma; layering&comma; and integration&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Placement involves introducing money into the financial system&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Layering involves moving money through multiple organizations and transactions that investigators believe may obscure its origin&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Integration refers to money ultimately emerging as grants&comma; donations&comma; nonprofit funding&comma; or operational support&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Grand jury subpoenas reportedly seek banking records and financial documents that could determine whether those financial movements violated federal law&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Neither Singham nor many of the organizations identified in the reporting have responded to repeated requests for comment&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Questions About Foreign Influence<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The investigation has also drawn attention from Congress&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith argued that the funding network helped &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;sow discord” within the United States while raising broader concerns about foreign malign influence&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly met with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon earlier this year to discuss the role of the firm’s donor-advised philanthropy fund in facilitating portions of the reported financial network&period; According to sources cited by Fox News Digital&comma; Goldman Sachs later agreed to cooperate with investigators&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Goldman Sachs previously stated that it terminated its relationship with Singham in February 2024 following public scrutiny surrounding his donations&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The reported movement of nearly &dollar;600 million through hundreds of financial transactions represents one of the largest ideological influence campaigns directed at American political organizations in recent memory&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">China is governed by the Chinese Communist Party&comma; which exercises extensive authority over political&comma; media&comma; and business activity within the country&period; Influential individuals who choose to live and conduct political activities from within China cannot realistically separate those activities from the interests of the Chinese Communist Party&period; Whether Singham sincerely believes in his political activism or not&comma; his activities ultimately advance Beijing’s strategic objectives&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">In other words&comma; he is under the direct control of the Chinese Communist Party&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The most significant figure is not simply the nearly &dollar;600 million reportedly moved through the network&comma;

organize demonstrations&comma; influence media coverage&comma; and amplify ideological messaging on a global scale&period; The author believes this extends well beyond ordinary political philanthropy and represents an influence apparatus whose size should concern every American&comma; regardless of political affiliation&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Whether prosecutors ultimately bring criminal charges remains to be seen&period; The grand jury process exists precisely to determine whether sufficient evidence exists to proceed&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">What is already clear from the reporting is that investigators are examining an extraordinarily large financial network involving hundreds of millions of dollars&comma; dozens of organizations&comma; and political activity spanning multiple continents&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">All under Chinese Communist control&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph"><strong>PB Editor&colon;<&sol;strong> One can say this is the biggest known&comma;
