The Secretary of State has called for global cooperation to combat far-left political terrorism, a move that could have significant implications for Neville Roy Singham, a financier facing a federal grand jury probe in New York. Singham, a 72-year-old American, has been accused of funding pro-Chinese Communist Party groups that operate in the U.S.
According to a recent investigation, Singham has funneled $278 million into a network of nonprofits since 2017. These groups regularly organize and participate in anti-ICE, anti-Israel, and pro-Iran demonstrations. At a State Department summit, Secretary Rubio urged more than 60 countries to treat far-left global terrorism as a counterterrorism priority.
Rubio noted that networks are coordinating across multiple countries, providing training instructions and using encrypted communication to facilitate unrest. He emphasized the importance of international cooperation in disrupting the financing of dangerous organizations and preventing them from working with hostile foreign states.
Singham's nonprofits promote communist and Marxist ideals on social media platforms and at demonstrations across the country. One such group, co-founded by Singham's wife, regularly protests in the U.S. Capitol, confronting lawmakers and openly admitting that "China is Not Our Enemy."
Rubio highlighted the dangerous influence Marxist beliefs can have when tied to acts of terrorism. He pointed out that the left often seems to excuse violence carried out by its own extremists, drawing a distinction between neo-Nazi and Marxist revolutionary groups.
Congress has taken note of Singham's activities, with the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman launching an investigation into the Singham nonprofit network last year. Members in the upper chamber are also sounding the alarm on Singham's ties to China.
A grand jury investigation into alleged financial crimes has been launched by the Department of Justice, with Singham's nonprofit network at the center of the probe. The investigation has issued subpoenas and is looking into the movement of funds tied to Singham.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has met privately with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon, warning the firm that it could come under scrutiny over its alleged role in the movement of funds tied to Singham. Bessent encouraged Solomon to fully cooperate with the Justice Department's investigation.
