Chinese Billionaire Living in Shanghai Just Got Caught Funding the Minneapolis Chaos

Biden invited criminals across the border for four years, and now Trump's cleaning up the mess.

Congressional investigators just exposed who's been bankrolling the riots.

A 71-year-old American billionaire living in Communist China has been writing checks to the agitators burning Minneapolis – and he's been doing it for years while Congress couldn't touch him.

CCP-Connected Billionaire Neville Roy Singham Bankrolled Anti-ICE Riots

Singham made his fortune in Silicon Valley, sold his tech company for $785 million in 2017, and packed up for Shanghai.

He shares office space with the Maku Group, a Chinese media company whose mission is to "tell China's story well" – CCP propaganda language.

Singham has funneled $1.8 million into this operation.

The FBI investigated him back in 1974 for being "potentially dangerous" because of ties to groups "engaged in activities inimical to U.S. interests."

Fifty years later, he's still at it – except now he's sitting in China where American law can't reach him.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky told Fox News that living in Shanghai protects him: "A subpoena can't be enforced essentially outside of our borders."

The State Department could force him back if there were criminal charges, but the Biden Justice Department sat on their hands for years.

Dark Money Network Funneled Millions to Minneapolis Protest Groups

Congressional investigations traced Singham's money through nonprofits with names like "United Community Fund" and "Justice and Education Fund."

Their addresses? UPS mailboxes in Illinois, Wisconsin, and New York.

These shell organizations funneled over $20 million to The People's Forum alone – one of the groups orchestrating Minneapolis protests.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation received funding through the same dark money pipeline.

Both groups mobilized rioters within hours after the Renée Good shooting.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer launched an investigation after last summer's Los Angeles riots: "Mr. Singham has a long track-record of assisting far-left entities that oppose U.S. interests and support U.S. adversaries."

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith went further, demanding records from The People's Forum after it justified Hamas terrorism within hours of October 7th.

The organization admitted on social media it received funding from Singham – a rare slip-up in an otherwise opaque operation.

New York Times reporting found that Singham has moved hundreds of millions of dollars to left-wing groups globally since 2017.

Congressional Investigation Reveals FARA Violations and CCP Ties

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna made a motion to subpoena Singham during a House Oversight Committee meeting.

"He has been funding extremist organizations that fuel division and civil unrest in this country," Luna said.

Then-Senator Marco Rubio referred him to the Justice Department for Foreign Agents Registration Act violations years ago.

FARA requires anyone working for foreign governments to register and disclose their activities.

Singham never registered despite working with CCP propaganda operations.

The problem? China won't send him back.

Cherkasky explained the legal trap: "If you're an American citizen, hold an American passport, the State Department does have certain capabilities to essentially force you back to the homeland. If there's a criminal prosecution, an indictment, an arrest warrant, it can cause extradition and return to the United States."

But nobody filed charges under Biden.

Now Trump's Justice Department has Attorney General Pam Bondi on the ground in Minneapolis arresting the rioters Singham bankrolled.

"Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement," Bondi announced.

She added: "NOTHING will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law."

Paid Agitators Used Astroturfing Tactics During Operation Metro Surge

Cherkasky pointed out what everyone on the ground already knows: "It's undeniable that the protests going on in Minneapolis are supported by organizations or groups of people that are essentially collaborating to get these folks out there."

When Laura Ingraham asked a Minneapolis agitator if she had a job, the woman answered: "I'm getting paid right now."

Real grassroots movements are broke but passionate – they can barely afford photocopied flyers.

Astroturfing is the opposite: unlimited cash hiring bodies to fill streets with professionally printed signs and coordinated talking points.

The giveaway is always sudden mobilization of thousands with matching materials and paid coordinators – all funded through shell nonprofits.

Singham's network operates exactly this way across multiple countries.

He funded NewsClick in India, which Indian police raided for "pursuing the China line on Covid-19" and creating "a web of organizations to funnel money."

He bankrolled Brasil de Fato newspaper in Brazil and the Socialist Revolutionary Workers Party in South Africa.

Code Pink, the anti-American protest group? Singham's wife Jodie Evans co-founded it.

Every single organization pushes identical talking points: America is evil, China is a model, socialism is the answer, and anyone enforcing immigration law is a fascist.

That's not coincidence – it's coordination.

A George Washington University extremism expert found that Singham's network runs campaigns "consistent with China's global strategy" that promote Beijing "as a defender of justice while weakening U.S. influence."

The Norwegian Defense Research Establishment documented how China uses these tactics to create division between America and its allies.

Trump Administration Can Freeze Assets Under Treasury Sanctions

Singham can hide in Shanghai, but his money moves through American banks.

The House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent requesting "a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether federal sanctions, civil remedies, or criminal penalties – including asset freezes or seizures – should be applied to far-left entities organized and funded by Mr. Singham."

The letter spelled out the legal theory: Under Xi Jinping, the CCP deploys a "Strategy of Sowing Discord" to make America's internal fights so bitter we stop paying attention to threats abroad.

If Singham is carrying out this strategy, he's an unregistered foreign agent.

Trump's got the authority to treat him like one and cut off his money.

Freeze the assets of The People's Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and every other nonprofit in Singham's network.

Watch how fast the "grassroots protests" disappear when the checks stop clearing.

The playbook is simple: Find the billionaire funding the chaos, cut off his money, arrest the rioters he hired, and restore law and order.

Trump's doing steps two and three right now in Minneapolis.

Time for step one.
