Senator Exposes American Billionaire’s Shadowy Network Funding Leftist Protests From Shanghai

Clear Facts

• Sen. Jim Banks delivered a Senate floor speech exposing Neville Roy Singham, a 72-year-old American billionaire who operates from Shanghai and has funneled $278 million into left-wing nonprofits since 2017
• Singham’s network funds groups like Code Pink that organize anti-ICE, anti-Israel, and pro-Iran demonstrations while defending the Chinese Communist Party
• A grand jury investigation authorized by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is examining Singham’s finances for potential financial crimes

Sen. Jim Banks, R-Indiana, delivered a powerful floor speech Wednesday exposing how an American tech billionaire operating from Communist China is bankrolling radical left-wing activism across the United States.

Neville Roy Singham, who sold his tech company for $785 million in 2017 and relocated to Shanghai, has distributed $278 million through a network of nonprofits that regularly organize anti-ICE, anti-Israel, and pro-Iran protests, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. The 72-year-old American now shares office space with a Chinese Communist Party propaganda outlet whose stated mission is to “tell China’s story well.”

“From his Shanghai office, which he shares with a CCP propaganda outlet whose avowed mission is to ‘tell China’s story well,’ Singham began funding a complex network of left-wing NGOs and nonprofits that advance the interests of the Chinese Communist Party,” Banks declared.

The senator specifically called out Code Pink, the radical organization that routinely harasses lawmakers in the halls of Congress. Banks revealed how the group’s stance toward Communist China changed dramatically after Singham began funding them and married co-founder Jodie Evans.

“Code Pink, that radical organization that chases me and other senators throughout the halls of Congress, used to, on occasion, condemn CCP human rights abuses,” Banks explained. “After Singham started lavishly funding the group—and married its co-founder—Code Pink stopped criticizing the Chinese government and started defending it.”

Code Pink now publicly declares that “China is Not Our Enemy” while confronting Republican senators on Capitol Hill. Neither Evans nor Singham have responded to repeated requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

On the same day as Banks’ speech, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Florida, confronted Code Pink agitators who approached him about the Iran conflict. Scott challenged them about whether they were concerned about the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. The activists refused to answer.

Banks’ remarks aligned with recent warnings from Secretary of State Marco Rubio about far-left political terrorism spreading globally. Rubio addressed more than 60 countries at a Washington, D.C. summit earlier this month, describing coordinated networks that provide training, use encrypted communications, and work with hostile foreign states to foment unrest.

“For far too long, however, our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot – a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left,” Rubio said. “Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream, or worse, as a dangerous fascist conspiracy.”

Singham currently faces a grand jury investigation in the Southern District of New York, authorized by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The probe focuses on Singham’s finances and seeks to uncover financial crimes connected to his pro-CCP nonprofit network. No charges have been filed to date.

Earlier this year, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon in New York, urging the firm to cooperate with the Justice Department’s investigation into Singham’s financial network. Sources familiar with the discussion described the exchange as amicable, with Solomon indicating Goldman Sachs would cooperate with the probe.

“All distributions from Mr. Singham’s donor-advised fund were made to legally recognized nonprofit organizations, as determined by the IRS,” a Goldman Sachs spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “No distributions have been made from the account since August 2023, and it was closed in early 2024.”

The investigation represents a significant development in understanding foreign influence operations targeting American political discourse. The case highlights how wealthy individuals can leverage nonprofit structures to advance foreign government interests while organizing domestic political activism.
