Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, a member of the House Oversight Committee, has announced efforts to pursue asset and visa freezes against Neville Roy Singham — a wealthy tech figure accused of backing violent unrest in Los Angeles and maintaining close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
On Wednesday, Luna posted on X, highlighting Singham’s alleged role in funding extreme-left organizations tied to last month’s LA riots, which targeted both law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“Neville Singham— the billionaire communist with ties to the CCP, who funded the LA riots and used immigration & Mexicans as a Trojan horse for communism— is hiding from our letter requesting testimony. This poses an issue for delivering subpoena,” Luna stated.
“Therefore, if he decides to hide in CHINA, we will now be asking the State Dept. and Treasury to freeze his assets/visa. Singham is literally hiding,” she added.
Luna also reposted an earlier Oversight Committee announcement from June, which included two letters dated June 13 — one addressed to Singham and the other to former Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The letter to Bondi asked for a briefing on any Department of Justice investigations into whether far-left groups funded by Singham may be acting on behalf of Beijing. The letter to Singham requested documentation related to his alleged “funding and control over certain far-left entities,” including the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL).
“According to data scientist Jennica Pounds,” the committee wrote in its letter to Singham, “you are ‘the main backer behind’ the PSL, which has organized nationwide protests, including the Los Angeles riots.”
Pounds, known on X as “DataRepublican,” previously contributed to President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk.
Based on this testimony, the Oversight Committee is now investigating Singham’s financial ties to socialist movements, particularly the PSL’s role in organizing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. According to Luna, Singham is currently evading U.S. authorities by staying in China — prompting the committee’s push to freeze his financial and travel access.
Luna referred to Singham as a “billionaire communist,” though he does not appear on Forbes’ billionaire rankings. Nonetheless, the New York Post reported that Singham sold his company, Thoughtworks, for $785 million in 2017. In a 2024 exposé, the Post also linked nine out of 14 staff members at Columbia University’s Kairos Center — which hosted pro-Hamas events — to Singham or his affiliated organizations.
In 2023, The New York Times described Singham as someone who, “hidden amid a tangle of nonprofit groups and shell companies,” collaborates closely with Chinese state media and helps finance its global propaganda efforts.
All of this has led to a broader question — one that touches on ideology, wealth, and the use of power. As George Kennan warned in 1947, Communists play the long game. And in that long game, Luna and others argue that figures like Singham are using immigration and far-left activism to undermine the U.S. from within.
The theory goes that left-wing elites — especially those with ties to governments and institutions — are drawn to ideologies like communism out of a belief in their own superiority. By contrast, those who build wealth through innovation or enterprise tend to respect the natural order and lean conservative.
In that light, Singham, a wealthy technocrat funding radical groups from abroad, is seen not just as a threat to national security — but as a symbol of the left’s long march through America’s institutions.
