Summary
Intelligence expert Adam Sohn warned that Neville Roy Singham’s dark money network is a threat to national security. Singham, a Marxist who sold his tech company for $800 million in 2017, has funneled $278 million into nonprofits that organize protests and demonstrations across the US. A federal grand jury probe has been launched to investigate Singham’s financial network, which is suspected of having ties to foreign governments, including China, Iran, and Venezuela. Sohn’s organization has provided information to the Southern District of New York surrounding the foreign-backed influence on US AI policy.

Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
Adam Sohn pointed out that Singham’s network is funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into nonprofits that have no reason for existence without his money. These nonprofits are mounting highly choreographed protests across the nation. Singham’s network has also fought against the building of data centers and the advancement of artificial intelligence in the US. Researchers estimate that $23.6 billion in proposed AI and data center investment has been delayed, scaled back or blocked in campaigns where the Party for Socialism and Liberation served as “a critical mobilizer.” Sohn alleged that his organization “had some recent data that shows that Iranian operatives are formally partnered with the Singham networks.”
The grand jury probe of Singham is part of a slew of investigations that includes ones launched by Congressional committees and top lawmakers in Washington D.C. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon to press the bank to assist the Justice Department’s investigation into Singham’s financial network.
As the investigation unfolds, it’s clear that the lines between politics, finance, and foreign influence are increasingly blurred.
The probe into Singham’s network is just one example of how the US government is trying to navigate the complex web of foreign-backed influence on domestic policy.
It remains to be seen how the investigation will play out, but one thing is certain: the stakes are high, and the outcome will have far-reaching implications for US national security and foreign policy.
