The money was hiding in plain sight for years.
Now President Trump’s Justice Department appears to be following it.
A federal grand jury in Manhattan is investigating alleged financial crimes connected to Neville Roy Singham, a China-based tech tycoon whose fortune has bankrolled socialist, communist, and Marxist organizations across the United States.
This is the part the establishment never wanted you to think about too hard.
A wealthy figure tied to the Chinese Communist Party allegedly routed enormous sums into American left-wing activist infrastructure, and for a long time almost nothing happened.
That has changed.
Fox News Digital reported on June 29, 2026, that the probe was launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton in the Southern District of New York, and that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the investigation. According to Fox, prosecutors are examining the movement of money in Singham’s network and whether Singham, the funded organizations, or their leaders committed wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, or other financial crimes.
Fox reported that evidence has already been presented to a grand jury and that subpoenas are seeking bank records and other financial documents from organizations in the network. An earlier Fox investigation found that Singham allegedly pumped $285 million from Shanghai into a Goldman Sachs philanthropy fund and two shell corporations, which then moved money into nonprofits, media operations, and activist groups.
Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, declined to comment.
$285 million does not move by accident.
It moves through structures built to obscure where it came from and where it lands.
The federal interest in this network did not appear overnight. The State Department was already naming names earlier this year.

Congress had also been pulling on this thread for months.
The House Committee on Ways and Means announced on May 5, 2026, that Chairman Jason Smith was demanding documents from BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People’s Forum. The committee said those entities are part of a U.S.-operating nonprofit network linked to the Chinese Communist Party and funded by Singham.
Smith wanted records on funding sources, fiscal sponsorships, links to Singham and foreign entities, foreign principals, donor-advised funds, and shell companies. The release said The People’s Forum publicly acknowledged funding from Singham, and that public reporting indicated more than $20 million flowed to the group from Singham and his wife between 2017 and 2022 through shell companies and donor-advised funds.
Smith warned that subpoenas were on the table if the groups refused to comply.
That warning aged well.
By late June, the chairman was describing a far larger picture.
In his June 25, 2026 statement at a Select Committee on China hearing, Smith said Ways and Means had uncovered a large network of U.S.-based tax-exempt organizations tied to Singham, who he said operates the network out of Shanghai. He said The People’s Forum alone received more than $20 million from the Singham network.
Smith raised concerns about CCP influence inside American political and public discourse, the abuse of tax-exempt status, and the funding of protest activity. He confirmed the committee was still seeking information from BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People’s Forum.
The pattern he laid out is straightforward: foreign-linked money flowing into domestic groups that shape American political life.
This is what an oversight trail looks like when lawmakers actually do the work.

The roots of the congressional push go back even further.
On April 8, 2026, Smith and Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar called on the IRS to examine U.S.-based tax-exempt organizations tied to the CCP and United Front influence operations. That release named Tricontinental and BreakThrough News as part of a nonprofit network linked to the CCP, operating inside the United States, and funded by Singham.
The lawmakers asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and IRS CEO Frank Bisignano to take a hard look at whether these groups were violating their tax-exempt status through political activity. It was an early sign that multiple arms of the government were starting to converge on the same network.
And that convergence has only grown.
The financial side has Treasury attention too. Fox reported that Bessent met earlier this year with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon about the GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund For Wealth Management Inc.
The probe has also expanded across more than one agency.

None of this means Singham has been charged.
This is a reported grand jury investigation and a subpoena stage, and investigators are examining the evidence in front of them.
But the shift is real.
For years, the loudest anti-American activist groups operated with serious money behind them while the questions about that money went unanswered.
Lawmakers asked for documents. They warned about subpoenas.
They mapped the network and named the players.
Now President Trump’s Justice Department is doing what so many institutions refused to do for a decade.
It is following the money all the way to the source.
