The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating China-based left-wing billionaire Neville Roy Singham over alleged financial crimes, Fox News reported Monday.
According to Fox, a Manhattan grand jury has issued subpoenas as part of a probe launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche reportedly authorized the investigation as the Trump administration targets alleged fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes in the nonprofit sector.
The investigation follows a Fox News Digital report from March alleging Singham moved $285 million from Shanghai into a Goldman Sachs philanthropy fund and two shell corporations. Those entities allegedly directed funds to nonprofit organizations, media operations, and activist groups promoting identity politics, sectarian division, socialist politicians, and anti-capitalist causes.
Sources told Fox that investigators are examining how money moved through Singham’s network and whether wire fraud, bank fraud, or money laundering occurred.
Breitbart News previously reported on Singham’s alleged ties to communist China and its propaganda apparatus. In his 2024 book Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer alleged that Singham and Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai helped fund radical groups using transgenderism as part of a broader effort against the “capitalist order.”
Schweizer wrote that Singham poured more than $100 million into radical leftist organizations in the United States, including CODEPINK, co-founded by Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, and the People’s Forum, whose co-executives are reportedly members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
In February, a Breitbart News Foundation review of corporate records reported closer-than-previously-known links between Shanghai-based Star Stream, a consulting firm founded by Singham, and Maku, a Chinese media company the New York Times has described as specializing in Chinese communist propaganda.
Fox also cited a clip of Singham speaking in support of a “new world order” while calling the United States a “fascist” country. The outlet said its series uncovered a 172-page report in which Singham described his theory of political change and invoked Mao Zedong’s strategy of “people’s war” to spread communism, drawing on Marxist and Leninist ideology.
The DOJ probe remains ongoing, and no charges were reported in the Fox article.
