WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has launched a grand jury investigation into centimillionaire Neville Roy Singham for allegedly breaking the law to fund a network of Marxist and other left-wing groups in the US for more than a decade, The Post has learned.
Grand jurors have been empaneled in Manhattan and prosecutors in US Attorney Jay Clayton’s office have fired off subpoenas for bank records to probe allegations of money laundering or other financial fraud, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The grand jury probe into the Connecticut-born, Shanghai-based tech mogul, first reported by Fox News, was begun months ago and authorized by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the source said.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also met with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to discuss the investigation. The bank’s philanthropic entity, the GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund for Wealth Management, allegedly helped funnel Singham’s dollars to US groups.
In total, $285 million has flowed from Singham to the Goldman Sachs philanthropic fund and shell companies — before moving on to nonprofits, media organizations, and other activist groups, per Fox News Digital.
Bessent reportedly warned Goldman that it could be implicated in an alleged conspiracy involving Singham’s contributions if it didn’t cooperate with the DOJ’s probe.
According to Fox, Solomon agreed to assist prosecutors.
“All distributions from Mr. Singham’s donor-advised fund were made to legal nonprofits, as determined by the IRS,” a spokesperson for Goldman Sachs said.
“There have been no distributions from Mr. Singham’s donor-advised fund since August 2023, and it was closed in early 2024,” the rep added.
The Post previously reported that Singham, 72, has also donated more than $15 million to radical social justice groups globally via a Chicago post office box.
Other funds have found their way to lefty protest groups, including several that have opposed Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts in Minneapolis and Los Angeles.
House Republicans have alleged ties between Singham and the Party for Liberation and Socialism, the People’s Forum, the ANSWER Coalition and more than a dozen other far-left groups.
For a time, Singham also shared office space with the Maku Group, a Chinese Communist Party-promoting propaganda network, according to lawmakers.
Other Singham-linked nonprofits include BreakThrough News and the radical publishing company 1804 Books.
Singham has also been married since 2017 to Jodie Evans, founder of far-left anti-war group CODEPINK.
Congressional Republicans have been probing Singham’s ties to CODEPINK and demanded its tax-exempt status be stripped for allegedly taking money from foreign adversaries and not using its funds for charitable purposes.
“For years, Roy Singham has abused the generous tax status awarded to tax exempt organizations to fund left wing chaos and violence in our country,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) on Monday.
“It’s about time he is brought to justice and he is held accountable for his ties to the CCP.”
In a speech this past November at the Global South Academic Forum in Shanghai, Singham called for a “new world order,” invoked Chinese despot Mao Zedong’s cries for a “people’s war” to spread communism, and declared the US a “fascist” country.
Singham, the son of a Brooklyn College political science professor, made his fortune through the sale of his IT company ThoughtWorks for roughly $785 million to Apax Partners, a London-based private equity firm.
Reps for the DOJ and Treasury did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
