GAI’s Seamus Bruner Reveals Left-Wing Funders Such as Roy Singham Behind Antifa Riots

PIX PEACE SIGN Elizabeth Weibel9 Oct 2025

Seamus Bruner, the Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) revealed that left-wing funders such as billionaire Neville Roy Singham were behind left-wing Antifa riots and protests.

During a roundtable event on Antifa with President Donald Trump, Bruner explained that he, GAI President Peter Schweizer, and their team “followed” a trail of money and “followed it to the top of what” they called the Protest Industrial Complex, or Riot Inc. Bruner explained that the so-called “Riot Inc.” was made up of many different divisions, and that “dozens of radical organizations” have received millions of dollars from Riot Inc.

“We found a network of NGOs, it’s not just the Soros network, the Open Society Network. It’s other funding networks, the Arabella Funding Network, the Tides Funding Network, Neville Roy Singham and his network, foreign cash,” Bruner explained. “And, it’s also big left-wing funders — some of them are not citizens of this country.”

Bruner continued to note that these left-wing funders were “pouring money into this entire ecosystem.”

Bruner continued to share “three money facts” about Riot Inc., explaining that there were “many divisions” such as “PR divisions, marketing divisions” and even a “well-funded legal division.”

“Number two, we have identified dozens of radical organizations, not just the decentralized Antifa organizations, but dozens of radical organizations that have received more than one hundred million dollars from the Riot Inc. investors,” Bruner added. “These would be the lawyer groups, these would be the groups that advocate for calling good, honest Americans fascists.”

“And then, three, I think the most shocking thing is that we have found that more than one hundred million dollars in U.S. taxpayer funding has flowed into these funding networks, including at least four million dollars to these very groups themselves,” Bruner added.

Bruner’s mention of Singham comes after an investigation by the Breitbart News Foundation reported that while “records from the United Kingdom confirm” that Singham resigned from Thoughtworks, Inc., which he founded in 1993, “Chinese government records suggest otherwise.”

After founding Thoughtworks, Inc. in 1993 and building the company into a software consulting powerhouse, Singham helped orchestrate its sale in October 2017, for approximately $785 million to a group of funds managed by London-based private equity firm Apax Partners. Corporate records from the United Kingdom confirm Singham’s resignation from Thoughtworks the same month, and his own LinkedIn profile says he has been retired since 2017. Thoughtworks’ English-language website relegates him to its “alumni” section, reinforcing the image of a clean break.

But Chinese government records suggest otherwise. These records list Singham as a corporate officer of Thoughtworks’ Chinese subsidiary, Thoughtworks Beijing, as recently as June 17, 2025, and for at least as far back as 2022. These records are from the National Enterprise Credit Reporting System (NECIPS), China’s corporate registry. Other documents, including trade show profile and “help-wanted” ads, listed Singham as Thoughtworks Beijing’s official contact in 2021.

The New York Post reported in June that Singham was set to be called to testify before a congressional committee regarding him funding “radical anti-Israel and Marxist groups” behind the Los Angeles riots.

In an article written by Bruner in June, Bruner detailed how the GAI had uncovered how the “official partners” behind the “No Kings” protests “bagged $114.8 million since 2019 from the Arabella Avisors dark money network an how professional protest organizations use tax dollars as a force multiplier.”

Bruner reported:

The expected worldwide mobilization of protests against President Donald Trump this weekend will hardly be a spontaneous eruption. On the contrary, the tumult is a carefully plotted production organized by The Indivisible Project and financed by the progress dark money network managed/advised by Arabella Advisors, which has perfected the mounting of made-to-order protests. Since 2019, the Arabella network has dumped more than $100 million into the coffers of the official “No Kings” protest partners—including the creator of the official protest song book.

This “grassroots” “nationwide days of defiance” targets Trump and his “billionaire allies,” according to organizers. The Arabella network’s biggest benefactors are the left’s own billionaire heroes, including George Soros, Bill Gates, Hansjorg Wyss, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.

During the roundtable event, Bruner vowed to “keep following the money,” and expressed that he appreciated “everything” Trump was doing.

Neville Roy Singham (born May 13, 1954) is an American businessman and social activist. He is the founder and former chairman of Thoughtworks, an IT consulting company that provides custom software, software tools, and consulting services, which he sold to a private equity firm for $785 million in 2017.

In 2019, Singham started a consulting business with partners who are active in the propaganda apparatus of the Chinese Communist Party; the partners are co-owners with Tongren City (Guizhou province) of a "media company that promotes anti-poverty policies" according to The New York Times.[2][3]

Singham is a socialist and admirer of Maoism, according to The New York Times; he has provided significant funding for media outlets, organizations, and politicians around the world that promote pro-Chinese government propaganda.[4] According to the George Washington University Program on Extremism he has provided funding for U.S.-based pro-Palestinian protest movements.[5]

Early life

Singham's father Archibald Singham was Sri Lankan. In his youth, Singham was a member of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, a Black nationalist–Maoist group, taking a job at a Chrysler plant in Detroit in 1972 as an activist in the group.[6] He attended Howard University before starting a consulting firm for equipment-leasing companies from his Chicago home.[6]

Career

Singham founded Thoughtworks, a Chicago-based IT consulting company that provides custom software, software tools, and consulting services, in the late 1980s; it was incorporated in 1993.[7][8]

From 2001 to 2008, Singham was a strategic technical consultant for Huawei.[6][8]

In 2005, Thoughtworks opened offices in China.[9]

By 2008, Thoughtworks employed 1,000 people and was growing at a rate of 20–30% per annum, with locations around the world. Its clients included Microsoft, Oracle, major banks, and The Guardian newspaper.[10] Singham owned 97% of the common stock of the company.[10] By 2010, its clients included Daimler AG, Siemens, and Barclays, and the company opened a second headquarters in Bangalore.[11]

In 2010, Singham opened Thoughtworks' Fifth Agile Software Development Conference in Beijing, where he spoke about his influence on Huawei.[6]

Singham sold ThoughtWorks to private equity firm Apax Partners in 2017 for $785 million, by which time it had 4,500 employees across 15 countries, including South Africa and Uganda.[7][12] Its chief scientist, Martin Fowler, wrote that Singham had not been involved in the running of the business for some years by that time.[8]

After selling the company, he moved to China, where he owns or co-owns a number of businesses.[9]

In 2019, he started a consulting business with partners who also co-own (with a Chinese municipality) a media company that promotes anti-poverty policies in Tongren in 2019.[3] Singham has business interests in Chinese companies in the food and consultancy markets.[6] As of 2023, his office is in Shanghai, and is shared with the Maku Group, "whose goal is to educate foreigners about 'the miracles that China has created on the world stage'" and to which Singham has given nearly $1.8 million in funding.[13]

Positions

Singham praised Hugo Chavez, describing Venezuela under his rule as a "phenomenally democratic place." He also described his admiration for China, where Thoughtworks had a growing operation, describing it as a model for governance: "China is teaching the West that the world is better off with a dual system of both free-market adjustments and long-term planning."[10]

He is a supporter of WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange, speaking in his defense at a 2011 event hosted by The Real News Network, along with fellow activist software businessman Peter Thiel and former intelligence whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg.[14] Alongside Ellsberg, he has also advocated for Jeremy Hammond and Aaron Swartz; the latter was working for him at Thoughtworks when he committed suicide while facing prosecution by the US government.[15] Singham, a friend of Swartz, described his prosecution as part of a coordinated campaign.[16]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Singham has been funding efforts to oppose NATO enlargement.[17]

In July 2023, Singham "joined a Communist Party workshop" about international promotion of the Chinese Communist Party.[18]

Singham funded The People's Forum,[18] a US nonprofit group in New York City that has been associated with organizing the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses.[19][20]

Funding network and allegations of Chinese government links

In 2021, India's Enforcement Directorate named Singham in a money laundering case, alleging that he was the source of ₹380 million ($5 million) given to Indian news site People's Dispatch between 2018 and 2021, to promote a pro-Chinese narrative in the Indian media.[21][22] The funds were alleged to have passed through a network of companies and NGOs including Delaware-based Worldwide Media Holdings (allegedly owned by Singham), and the Justice and Education Fund, GSPAN LLC and the Tricontinental Institute (funded by Singham[6]) in the US, and Centro Popular de Mídias, Brazil.[22][23][24][13]

According to a January 2022 report by New Lines Magazine formerly of the New Lines Institute, led by Hassan Hassan, Singham has donated almost $65 million to non-profit organizations, including Code Pink, that take Beijing's side on genocide allegations.[6]

In July 2022, the South African publication New Frame shut down, after having discreetly received most of its money from Singham since its 2018 launch. The staff wanted to keep raising money to continue the project, with some suspecting that it was the only publication not have fallen into line ideologically with the rest of Singham's network of outlets.[9]

According to a May 2023 article in The Daily Beast, there are connections between Singham and organizations on the far-left that promote CCP talking points, including BreakThrough News, Peoples Dispatch and other members of the International People's Media Network. The article said there were overlapping personnel at a number of these organizations and media outlets without actual office locations. The article said some members of BreakThrough News' leadership are affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation.[19]

In August 2023, The New York Times reported that Singham works closely with the Chinese government and state media, and donates to various groups, news organizations and entities through non-profit groups and shell companies which spread pro-Chinese government messages.[18] Chinese state media accounts had retweeted people and organizations in Mr. Singham's network 122 times since February 2020.[18] The non-profits distributing the funding included the United Community Fund, Justice and Education Fund and People's Support Foundation, have addresses at UPS store mailboxes in Illinois, Wisconsin and New York, and headed by Jodie Evans (founder of CODE PINK) or former ThoughtWorks employees. Funded groups include: an Indian-based independent news site, NewsClick, that the Times described as having "sprinkled its coverage with Chinese government talking points"; in South Africa the Nkrumah School, the Socialist Revolutionary Workers Party and the New Frame news startup[9] (whose editor had resigned in 2022 citing its "soft coverage" of China and Russia); the Brasil de Fato newspaper in Brazil; and activist groups No Cold War, Code Pink, People's Forum, and Tricontinental in the United States. In response to the Times report, Singham said that he was not a "member of, work for, take orders from, or follow instructions of any political party or government or their representatives".[18]

Following the August 2023 New York Times report, US senator Marco Rubio asked the United States Department of Justice to open an investigation into entities related to Singham for potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).[25]

The Delhi Police also opened an investigation into NewsClick, focused on funding by Singham and its role in pushing a pro-China narrative.[26] The police allege that "Email communications between Singham, Vijay Prashad, Prabir and their associates established that Singham was actively pursuing the China line on Covid-19, despite mounting criticism of the same from the international community. Singham is seen clearly nudging Prabir and the PPK NewsClick team to peddle the Chinese version…" It also accused Singham and his associates with creating a web of organizations to funnel money into NewsClick.[27][28]

Singham also funds the People’s Forum, ANSWER Coalition, the International People’s Assembly, and the "Shut It Down for Palestine" (SID4P) campaign.[5]

Personal life

Singham lives in Shanghai, China.[13][6] He is married to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, who has become pro-China after marrying Singham in 2017.[18] Singham has also become a major donor to Code Pink, with organizations from his network providing around a quarter of the budget.[18]

His son Nathan Singham works for the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, which he funds.[6]

Uyghur propaganda investigation

Recent news article https://newlinesmag.com/reportage/the-big-business-of-uyghur-genocide-denial/ probably should make it in here. Need to double-check New Lines' general reliability as a source: founded in 2020, so it's a recent publication and thus I wouldn't assume reliability the way I would for a more tenured publication. Core claim:

[O]ver the past five years almost $65 million has filtered through various entities connected with people who have defended the Chinese government and downplayed or denied documented human rights violations committed by Beijing against the Uyghur and Turkic Muslim minorities. This funding has moved through a complex series of mostly tax-deductible investment funds and charities, all linked by virtue of their governance structures to one man: the 67-year-old American tech magnate Neville Roy Singham.

Opinion or fact?

Singham has helped fund causes and groups that promote pro-Chinese government messages, and others which oppose NATO expansion and U.S. aid to Ukraine in response to the Russian invasion.

Without neutral phrasing and corroborating reference, it becomes an opinion and not fact. And it is libel. I made this change, but an editor changed it back.

The letter is at [2] Marco Rubio doing his best to raise the spirit of Joseph McCarthy. According to the first sentence of our article on McCarthyism, it is "a political practice defined by the political repression and persecution of left-wing individuals and a campaign spreading fear of communist and Soviet influence on American institutions". Change "Soviet" to "Chinese".Burrobert (talk) 12:26, 4 August 2025 (UTC)I agree. I'm not advocating using the primary source, and the lack of coverage so far from RSs indicates it is probably not noteworthy. But given that Rubio is one of the most senior politicians in the US (unfortunately), it's likely RSs will pick this up and it will be due for inclusion.
