During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing, former U.S. tech executive Neville Roy Singham was accused of using a network of shell companies and donor-advised funds to channel over $20 million from China to far-left groups in the U.S., including the People's Forum which has organized anti-ICE protests. Lawmakers allege Singham has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and has exploited U.S. tax laws to obscure the origin of the funds.

Why it matters

The hearing highlighted concerns over foreign adversaries, particularly China, using 'dark money' to influence and fund domestic activist groups in the U.S. Lawmakers are seeking to unravel Singham's alleged network and address loopholes that allow foreign money to flow into American political and social movements.

The details

Singham, a U.S. citizen living in Shanghai, was accused of being the man behind the 'Singham [Chinese Communist Party] network' that has funneled millions to groups like the People's Forum. The committee chairman alleged Singham and his wife, a co-founder of CodePink, used shell companies and donor-advised funds to hide the origin of the money. Lawmakers said Singham attended CCP propaganda trainings, shared office space with Chinese state media, and exploited U.S. tax laws to move the funds.

  • The House Ways and Means Committee hearing took place on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
  • Last April, the committee chairman sent a letter requesting information about tax-exempt organizations tied to CCP propaganda, including the People's Forum.

What they’re saying

“It's no wonder that the People's Forum echoes Communist Party propaganda. One of their largest donors is a wealthy former US tech executive living in Shanghai who is cozy, extremely cozy with the Chinese Communist Party.”

— Rep. Jason Smith, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman

“We see a sophisticated, multi-layered flow of capital funds that originate in Singham and Shanghai, move through his private LLCs, and then are transferred to a donor-advised fund. From there, the money is granted to Singham's own nonprofits that act as a pass through, such as the Justice and Education Fund and the People Support Foundation, which subsequently distribute the funds to other groups in the Singham Network, like the media outlet Breakthrough News or the People's Forum, which organizes protests that have turned violent.”

— Rep. Darin LaHood, House Ways and Means Committee Member

“Singham attended Chinese Communist Party propaganda trainings, shared offices with Chinese state media in Shanghai, and exploited U.S. tax law to move tens of millions of dollars through donor-advised funds, primarily via Goldman Sachs. Together, these entities form a coordinated $100 million system.”

— Adam Sohn, Network Contagion Research Institute Co-Founder

What’s next

The House Ways and Means Committee is continuing to investigate Singham's alleged 'CCP network' and the flow of foreign funds to U.S. activist groups. Lawmakers are seeking to address the legal loopholes that allow this type of 'dark money' to influence domestic political and social movements.

The takeaway

This case highlights growing concerns over foreign adversaries, particularly China, using sophisticated 'dark money' networks to funnel millions of dollars into U.S. activist groups and undermine American interests. Lawmakers are working to unravel these complex financial structures and close the legal loopholes that enable this type of foreign interference.
