A shadowy US billionaire who is bankrolling radicals, including groups involved in this week’s riots in Los Angeles, faces being hauled before a Congressional committee, according to a Republican lawmaker.

China-based Neville Roy Singham will be called to testify about his funding of myriad non-profits including radical anti-Israel and Marxist groups.

They include the Party for Liberation and Socialism, which has been heavily involved in protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Los Angeles this week, although there is no evidence they have been directly involved in any of the violence which has erupted there.

“If he refuses to appear, he will be subpoenaed, and if he ignores that he will be referred to the DOJ for prosecution,” said Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna in a post on X in all capital letters earlier this week.

The congressional committee will be looking at Singham’s links to the Chinese Communist Party, according to Luna.

In April, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary urged the Department of Justice to investigate the People’s Forum and Code Pink, leftist activist groups affiliated with Singham and his wife Jodie Evans.

Born in Chicago, the software entrepreneur and his activist wife now live in Shanghai but still funnel plenty of money back to the US.

Although they deny working for the Chinese government, they share offices with the Maku Group, a propaganda network which promotes the Chinese Communist Party abroad.

“Evidence suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have been funded and influenced by … Singham and the communist Chinese government, both of which are foreign principals.

“The evidence also suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have engaged in political activities that directly advance the communist Chinese government’s political and policy interests,” said committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

Last year, the House Ways and Committee asked the IRS to revoke the exempt status for the People’s Forum, a Manhattan-based non-profit financed by Singham. That group helped organize anti-Israel demonstrations in the city a day after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel that left 1,200 Israelis dead.

Some of the group’s members were also behind the violent demonstrations at an encampment for Gaza at Columbia University last year.

“The Singham network operates as a coordinated movement incubator, a term used by the People’s Forum itself,” said Alex Goldberg, senior advisor to the National Contagion Research Institute, a think tank that tracks disinformation on social media platforms.

“It combines media, publishing and organizing under one roof.”

Most of the groups linked to Singham operate out of a Chelsea, New York, office and cafe where People’s Forum regularly offers courses with titles such as “Racial Capitalism” and “Spanish for Social Justice.”

Among the Singham-linked non-profits are BreakThrough News and a radical book publishing company, 1804 Books.

“These groups do not operate independently,” Goldberg told The Post. “They share leadership, funding, and a unified ideological mission closely aligned with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a revolutionary Marxist organization, expanding its presence on college campuses and in major cities.”

The Party for Socialism and Liberation was recently tied to Elias Rodriguez, the suspect in the shooting deaths of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC last month. In 2017, Rodriguez attended a police brutality demonstration as part of the radical socialist group, which immediately distanced itself from him in the wake of the shooting.

Singham, 71, has not always been against the accumulation of capital. He is the founder and former chair of Thoughworks, a tech consulting company which he sold to a private equity firm in 2017 for $785 million.

“Roy Singham is incredibly charismatic,” said a source who did not want to be identified.

Evans, 70, co-founded the anti-war group Code Pink, and sits on the board of the People’s Forum.

She is the co-author of “China is not our enemy,” written with Mikaela Nhondo Erskog, a researcher at another group funded by Singham.  

In another extreme example, Evans and another activist with Code Pink traveled to North Korea in 2015 as part of a delegation of “Women Cross DMZ,” a pro-North Korean non-profit based in Hawaii.
