As Singham faces federal probe, wife marches in anti-Israel protest led by groups he funded

Jodie Evans, co-founder of CodePink and a leader at the People's Forum, took part in a large anti-Israel demonstration in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday, even as federal prosecutors pursue a grand jury investigation into her husband, Shanghai-based tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham, and the network of groups he bankrolls. The Justice Department's Southern District of New York office is examining allegations of money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud tied to Singham; neither he nor the organizations he funds face any charges, according to Fox News.

The march began in the afternoon at the New York Public Library and stretched over four hours through the city, timed to follow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the United Nations General Assembly. Organizers from the People's Forum brought megaphones, drums, sound equipment, a stage and premade signage, coordinating what was described as a tightly run operation. Evans marched alongside members of the Democratic Socialists of America, while self-described members of the Revolutionary Communists of America repeatedly shouted support for the intifada, a term associated with Palestinian militant resistance to Israel's existence.

Hours before the march, police detained actress Susan Sarandon, a familiar face at People's Forum gatherings, when a group of demonstrators sat down and blocked First Avenue. Fellow CodePink founder Medea Benjamin and actress Cynthia Nixon also joined the protest, which drew participation from Jewish Voice for Peace, another group tied to Singham's funding network whose leadership has called for replacing Israel with a Palestinian state.
