The federal probe into Neville Roy Singham’s network has widened, with allegations that his funding helped stall major AI and data center projects across multiple states, raising national security and economic concerns. Former Treasury advisor Sam Lyman flagged the investigation as a significant development, and researchers estimate billions in delayed investment tied to organized opposition coordinated by groups connected to Singham.
We’ve been tracking Neville Roy Singham’s activities for months, and recent reporting suggests his influence reaches well beyond petty political donations. The new inquiry centers on how his financing and allied activist groups may have organized to block or slow critical technology projects in the United States. Those efforts, the report says, affected community campaigns and local government decisions about AI infrastructure and data centers.
Sam Lyman, a former senior advisor to the Treasury Department, directly weighed in on this matter and described the investigation as unusually important. He warned that the network under scrutiny ranks among the most subversive political networks in the country. “It’s an enormous development because it’s one of the first legal actions that’s taking a deeper look into this network, which is among the most subversive political networks here in the United States, period,” Lyman told Fox News Digital.
Former Treasury senior advisor and chief speechwriter Sam Lyman says the Southern District of New York’s investigation into the finances behind the activist network tied to American Marxist businessman Neville Roy Singham marks one of the most significant developments yet in the federal government’s scrutiny of the organization and far-left protests in the U.S.
“It’s an enormous development because it’s one of the first legal actions that’s taking a deeper look into this network, which is among the most subversive political networks here in the United States, period,” Lyman told Fox News Digital.
The investigation reportedly includes a grand jury in the Southern District of New York examining the money that flowed through a web of activist groups. A recent report released by Lyman’s team examines how organizing connected to Singham opposed new AI and data center projects across many states. Investigators and researchers say those campaigns helped delay, scale back, or block roughly $23.6 billion in proposed AI and data center investment.
Those delays are not merely local irritants. Data centers and AI infrastructure are critical to economic competitiveness and national security, and hobbling them through coordinated opposition backed by foreign-aligned money should concern every policymaker. Even when community concerns are legitimate, the pattern here suggests a strategic effort to use local activism as a lever to disrupt America’s technological progress.
Lyman was reacting to Fox News Digital’s exclusive report that U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton from the Southern District of New York has opened a grand jury investigation into the finances behind Singham’s sprawling activist network.
The former Treasury official, who now serves as head of research at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, released a new report on Monday, first obtained by Fox News Digital, examining the Singham network’s role in organizing opposition to artificial intelligence infrastructure and data center development across the country.
Researchers conclude that about $23.6 billion in proposed AI and data center investment has been delayed, scaled back or blocked in campaigns where Party for Socialism and Liberation served as “a critical mobilizer in efforts that delayed, scaled back, or blocked the proposed AI infrastructure investment.”
This pattern shows up in multiple localities, from North Carolina to California and beyond, where organizers canvassed, circulated petitions, and pressured councils into moratoria or bans on new data centers. One example cited organizers pushing for a permanent ban after a temporary moratorium passed unanimously. Those tactics look less like organic grassroots concerns and more like coordinated pressure campaigns with funding and strategy behind them.
There are legitimate debates about land use, environmental impact, and neighborhood quality of life when massive facilities are proposed, and local voices deserve to be heard. But foreign-aligned funding that aims to block strategic technology projects is a different animal and poses risks to the nation’s economic future. Allowing overseas money to shape critical infrastructure decisions undermines both sovereignty and common-sense development.
The involvement of groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation is particularly striking given the group’s agenda and the ideological ties to Singham. That connection raises alarms about whether ideological objectives are being pursued under the guise of local activism. When activism crosses into foreign-directed campaigns that stall vital projects, it becomes a matter for federal scrutiny, not just municipal debate.
Neville Singham now lives abroad, which complicates enforcement and accountability, but that does not mean the investigation cannot move forward or that American institutions should ignore the threat. Identifying the network’s domestic leaders, funding channels, and methods will be essential to prevent similar interference in the future. The work ahead will require persistent investigative effort and, where appropriate, legal action.
Expect more developments as investigators follow the money and interview participants. The core question is whether coordinated, foreign-linked funding was used to deliberately disrupt America’s technological progress and whether those responsible will be held to account.
