Expert warns Neville Roy Singham network is national security threat

Far-left sugar daddy Neville Roy Singham’s dark money network is a threat to national security, an intelligence expert has warned, saying an ongoing federal grand jury investigation into the China-based tech mogul’s financing of socialist, communist and Marxist organizations is warranted.

Adam Sohn, co-founder and CEO of the Network Contagion Research Institute, said Singham’s network funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to nonprofit political advocacy organizations, including the People’s Forum, Breakthrough News, Tri-Continental, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. These groups organize highly choreographed protests across the country on a variety of left-wing causes and issues.

“Without his money, these nonprofits would have no reason to exist,” Sohn said. “I think Americans are seeing what this ecosystem looks like on the streets of our country. These are not protests, but coordinated chaos and attacks on infrastructure.”

Singham, a 72-year-old Marxist who sold his technology company for $800 million in 2017 and currently lives in Shanghai, is known to fund pro-Chinese Communist Party groups operating in the United States. It has funneled $278 million to its vast network of nonprofits since 2017, according to an investigation by Fox News Digital. These groups regularly organize and participate in anti-ICE, anti-Israel, and pro-Iran demonstrations.

Fox News Digital reported last week that Acting U.S. Attorney Todd Blanche authorized a grand jury in Manhattan to issue subpoenas as part of an investigation into Singham’s financial network. The investigation was initiated by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton of the Southern District of New York, one of the nation’s most powerful districts for federal investigations.

Singham did not respond to Fox News Digital’s repeated requests for comment.

Nonprofit organizations in Singham’s network have been mobilizing agitators across the country to attend demonstrations, including some that have resulted in clashes between federal and local law enforcement.

Sohn said Singham’s network is also fighting against the construction of data centers and the advancement of artificial intelligence in the United States. While environmental concerns are often voiced by opponents of data centers, advocates say blocking them could put the United States behind China in the artificial intelligence race.

Researchers at the Bitcoin Policy Institute published a report last week stating that an estimated $23.6 billion in AI and data center investment has been delayed, scaled back or blocked in campaigns with the Party for Socialism and Liberation serving as a “critical mobilizer.”

Sohn said his organization provided information to the Southern District of New York about foreign-backed influence on U.S. AI policy.

“They operate like unregistered foreign agents, [with] “Ties with Venezuela, ties with Iran, North Korea, Russia and Cuba,” Sohn said. “The same organized force that is blocking bridges, shutting down airports, attacking police officers is now being redeployed on artificial intelligence, which the United States is trying to engage China and other countries with.”

Sohn claimed that his organization “has some new data indicating that Iranian operatives have officially partnered with the Singham networks,” but Fox News Digital was unable to independently verify this claim.

The federal grand jury investigation into Singham is part of a series of investigations that also include investigations launched by congressional committees and senior lawmakers in Washington, D.C.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon in New York earlier this year; Bessent pressured the bank to help the Justice Department’s investigation into Singham’s financial network, according to sources familiar with the meeting.

During the meeting, Bessent warned that Goldman Sachs could come under scrutiny for its alleged role in facilitating the movement of Singham’s funds and encouraged Solomon to fully cooperate with federal investigators.

A source familiar with the meeting told Fox News Digital that the discussion was cordial rather than contentious, and that Solomon expressed a desire to assist the Justice Department’s investigation.

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