Summary

  • Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the Southern District of New York to investigate the finances of nonprofits funded by Neville Roy Singham, according to the report.
  • Fox News Digital said Singham, a U.S. tech tycoon living in Shanghai, has funneled $278 million into the network since 2017, with critics alleging it uses fiscal sponsorships to shield projects from scrutiny.
  • The report highlighted $22.44 million routed through a Goldman Sachs donor-advised fund to Manhattan-based People's Forum, which it linked to groups involved in anti-ICE and anti-Israel protests.
  • Sen. Ted Cruz is using the probe to press his SPONSOR Act, introduced in March, which would expand civil and criminal liability for 501(c)(3) nonprofits that fund or sponsor groups breaking the law.
  • Republican lawmakers including Cruz and Sen. Jim Banks argue the network advances Chinese Communist Party interests and political violence, allegations Singham has not publicly answered in the report.
