WASHINGTON (Diya TV) — Twitch streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker publicly named American tech financier Neville Roy Singham as a “funding vehicle” for political movements and advocacy organizations in the United States during a livestream, describing Singham as having bankrolled groups including CodePink, the ANSWER Coalition, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL).
The remarks came during a six-hour livestream titled “FEDS ARE AFTER ME,” in which Piker addressed a subpoena he received from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Approximately 37 minutes into the stream, Piker said: “I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink — like anything that he has ever financed.” He also described Singham as a “funding vehicle for a lot of like political, uh, a lot of political movements in the country, a lot of activism.”
Congressional investigators and watchdog groups have argued for years that organizations connected to Singham operate as political entities while holding tax-exempt nonprofit status under 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) designations, which place strict legal limits on the degree of political activity allowed. Piker’s on-stream characterization of those organizations as political movements is the first public acknowledgment from someone within the network that they operate with an explicitly political agenda, according to Fox News Digital, which first reported the development.
Piker’s comments arise directly from a federal investigation into his participation in the “Nuestra América Convoy,” an international caravan that traveled to Havana, Cuba from March 18 to 24, 2026. The convoy included approximately 650 delegates from 33 countries and 120 organizations. Its stated purpose was to deliver humanitarian aid, including medical supplies to pediatric hospitals, and to protest the Trump administration’s blockade of Cuba. Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin were among roughly 40 Americans who traveled on the convoy and are now under federal scrutiny.
OFAC issued Piker and Benjamin “Requests for Information” — a form of administrative subpoena — seeking financial, logistical, and communications records related to the trip. Investigators are examining whether participants violated U.S. sanctions laws by financing travel, coordinating logistics, conducting prohibited financial transactions in Cuba, or staying at hotels on the State Department’s restricted list. Legal experts told Fox News Digital that the subpoenas could determine whether the case is pursued as a criminal matter under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) or handled as a civil sanctions matter.
Piker said before the trip that he had cleared participation with OFAC in advance, though he has not publicly provided documentation of that communication. On stream he said: “It’s not great. I mean, it’s bullshit. But still not great that they’re after your boy.” He also wrote on X: “the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class.” No charges have been filed against Piker.
Neville Roy Singham is an American businessman who founded and in 2017 sold the technology consulting firm ThoughtWorks. Since that sale, according to a Fox News Digital investigation published in March 2026, Singham has directed approximately $285 million into a network of U.S.-based nonprofits. The breakdown reported by Fox News Digital includes $22.44 million to the People’s Forum, a New York City-based organizing hub; $68.7 million to the Justice and Education Fund Inc.; $16.76 million to Tricontinental Ltd., a pro-communist think tank; $1.33 million to CodePink; and $1.098 million to BreakThrough BT Media. Singham is married to Jodie Evans, co-founder of CodePink. He currently resides in Shanghai.
The House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Oversight Committee have each examined aspects of Singham’s funding network, focusing on questions of foreign influence, nonprofit tax compliance, and whether the organizations receiving charitable tax benefits engaged in political activism beyond what federal law permits. In a letter, House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith stated that the People’s Forum received funding from Singham and that public reporting suggested the organization was part of a network serving as conduits for pro-Chinese Communist Party narratives. Singham has not been charged with any crime, and neither he nor representatives for the named organizations have responded publicly to the latest developments as of the time of this report.
The investigation into the Cuba trip is part of a broader federal effort involving the Treasury, Justice, and State Departments. The Trump administration reinstated a full oil blockade on Cuba in February 2026. The DOJ separately indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro in May 2026. Piker called that indictment a “sham” with “no legal standing” during his livestream.
No charges have been filed in connection with any of the ongoing investigations. The Treasury Department has not made additional public statements beyond the issuance of the subpoenas.
