Neville Roy Singham, the wealthy husband of Jodie Evans, co-founder of the progressive nonprofit Code Pink, is under criminal investigation by a grand jury in the Southern District of New York, according to multiple sources.

The probe initially focused on possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act but has since expanded into a criminal tax investigation. Authorities are examining whether Singham unlawfully funneled money through nonprofits he controls and whether he falsified tax forms, known as "990s," for those organizations.

Singham is a significant financial supporter of the People's Forum, a New York City-based left-leaning nonprofit advocating for working-class and marginalized groups. He is also the founder of Thoughtworks, an IT consulting firm he sold to a private equity firm in 2017 for $785 million.

Around the time of the sale, Singham relocated his business operations to Shanghai, China, and began funding a global network of nonprofits and think tanks with hundreds of millions of dollars. Reports from The Free Press and The New York Times indicate that he moved funds through shell companies and other unclear entities to advance his leftist political agenda while promoting pro-Beijing messaging.

Singham reportedly contributed up to a quarter of Code Pink's funding. Congressional committees, including House Ways and Means, allege that his support for activist groups domestically and internationally aligns with Beijing's influence campaigns, which aim to exploit social causes to create political division in the United States.

This investigation is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to scrutinize progressive nonprofit groups. It coincides with President Trump's planned prime-time address on Thursday, July 16, 2026, in which he is expected to allege Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election.
