U.S. Billionaire Neville Roy Singham Under Congressional Scrutiny Over Alleged Funding of Protest Groups

U.S. tech mogul Neville Roy Singham is reportedly facing intense scrutiny from Congress and law enforcement agencies over allegations he has funded a network of activist groups linked to various protests and unrest across the United States. According to a tweet by Jonathan Choe, Singham is "reportedly in hiding" and is "accused of trying to destabilize America by funding numerous riots." These claims are part of a broader investigation into his financial support for organizations alleged to promote radical agendas.

Singham, the founder of the successful IT consulting firm ThoughtWorks, which he sold in 2017 for $785 million, has been identified as a significant financier of several left-leaning groups. Among the organizations reportedly receiving substantial funds are The People's Forum, Code Pink, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Reports indicate that Singham and his wife, Jodie Evans, channeled over $20.4 million to The People's Forum between 2017 and 2022, often through shell organizations.

Congressional committees have initiated probes into Singham's activities, with the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight Committee calling for investigations. Lawmakers are examining whether these groups, allegedly funded by Singham, have violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) or incited violence. Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna stated that Singham would be called to testify, with the possibility of a subpoena if he refuses.

The funded groups have been linked to various disruptive events, including recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles and pro-Palestine demonstrations on college campuses. Critics allege that Singham's network operates as a "movement incubator," combining media, publishing, and organizing to advance a unified ideological mission. This includes accusations of promoting anti-American sentiments and aligning with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) talking points.

Singham, who is currently based in Shanghai, is also under investigation in India concerning the news portal NewsClick. Indian authorities accuse him of spreading Chinese propaganda through the platform, further highlighting the international scope of the allegations. The ongoing investigations aim to uncover the full extent of his financial influence and its impact on political discourse and social movements.
