Code Pink Founder's Husband Under Federal Investigation for Financial Irregularities and Foreign Agent Concerns

Neville Roy Singham, the wealthy husband of Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans and a significant benefactor of progressive causes, is reportedly under criminal investigation by a federal grand jury in New York. The investigation initially focused on potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act but has since expanded to include a criminal tax probe.

Sources indicate the investigation is examining whether Singham unlawfully funneled money through nonprofits he controls and if he provided false information on their tax forms. Singham, who sold his IT consulting company Thoughtworks for $785 million in 2017, moved his business operations to Shanghai around the same time. He has since funded a global network of nonprofits and think tanks with hundreds of millions of dollars.

Reports suggest Singham has used shell companies and opaque entities to advance his political agenda while promoting pro-Beijing messaging. He has also heavily funded Code Pink, with his contributions reportedly covering up to a quarter of the group's operations. Following this funding, Code Pink has reportedly softened its stance on China, including defending Beijing against accusations of human rights abuses against a Muslim minority group.

Singham has not been charged with any crimes, and it remains unclear if the investigation will result in charges. He has faced questioning from Republican members of Congress regarding his embrace of Chinese political views and allegations of acting as a foreign agent for China. The House Ways and Means Committee has sought documents to determine potential coordination between Singham, his nonprofits, and Chinese government officials.
