A Fox News investigation has uncovered a vast network of "dark money" fueling the violent anti-ICE riots in Minneapolis. At the center of the web is Neville Roy Singham, a 71-year-old American former tech mogul currently residing in Shanghai. Singham has reportedly funneled over $250 million into far-left organizations that promote Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda and civil unrest.
Groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and The People’s Forum are lead voices in mobilizing these agitators. These organizations use multiple channels to encourage people to take to the streets and engage in criminal misconduct. Congressional probes suggest these groups mix progressive advocacy with CCP talking points to destabilize U.S. interests.
"Mr. Singham... has a long track-record of assisting far-left entities," the House Oversight Committee wrote in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi. Singham sold his IT company in 2017 for $785 million before moving to China. His residence in Shanghai currently shields him from U.S. subpoenas and direct congressional questioning.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky warned that these protests are clearly receiving organized, targeted support. Investigators believe the money is moved through 501(c)(3) nonprofits because their donor lists are not reportable to the public. This allows wealthy benefactors to claim "clean hands" while their funds finance destructive "urban theatre" on American soil.
The investigation into Singham's network stretches back decades, with the FBI first eyeing his activities in 1974. Today, House Oversight Chairman James Comer is pushing for further examination of Singham’s failure to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Lawmakers are concerned that foreign-influenced extremism is being laundered through vaguely named organizations.
On the ground in Minneapolis, the influence of these funds is becoming visible to the public. Fox News’ Laura Ingraham recently questioned a shouting agitator about her employment during a local protest. "I’m getting paid right now," the woman answered, lending weight to claims of professional agitation.
The PSL has even turned Alex Pretti into a "martyr" for their cause, using his death to fuel further anti-government sentiment. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other top officials are now pushing for a total crackdown on this dark money network. They argue that protecting American streets requires cutting off the foreign cash flow that rewards lawlessness.
