Neville Roy Singham, the wealthy husband of the founder of the progressive non-profit Code Pink and benefactor of far-left political causes, is under criminal investigation by a grand jury in the Southern District of New York, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.
The investigation began by looking into possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act and has since expanded into a criminal tax probe over whether money was unlawfully funneled through nonprofits he controls and whether he lied on the tax forms for those nonprofits, known as "990s," the sources said.
The criminal investigation was first reported by Fox News .
Singham is a major financial backer of a New York City-based nonprofit called the People's Forum, a left-leaning nonprofit that advocates for causes impacting the working class and other marginalized groups.
He is also the founder of Thoughtworks, an IT consulting company, and is married to Jodie Evans, co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink. Singham sold Thoughtworks to a private equity firm in 2017 for $785 million. At around the same time, Singham moved his business operations to Shanghai, China, and began funding a vast, global network of non-profits and think tanks to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
