Fox News Just Exposed the $825 Million Dark Money Network Behind the Delaney Hall Riots
The riots outside Delaney Hall were built, funded, and directed – not spontaneous.
Someone paid for the pepper spray kits, the knee pads, and the electrolytes.
Fox News just found out who.
The Delaney Hall 100: How 100 Nonprofit Groups with $825 Million Funded the Riots
Fox News Digital spent weeks collecting tax filings, strategy documents, and social media posts – and infiltrating the encrypted Signal groups where the real coordination happened.
What they found was a network of approximately 100 organizations – now called the "Delaney Hall 100" – with combined annual revenues of $825 million.
That figure is roughly equal to the entire annual operating budget of the city of Newark.
These groups include the ACLU, Indivisible, and Democratic Socialists of America.
About 70 of them hold IRS tax-exempt status – 501(c)(3) charities, labor unions, and trade organizations that pay no federal taxes while bankrolling operations against federal law enforcement.
Military experts who reviewed the Delaney Hall operations told Fox the tactics resemble those of an insurgency.
Not a protest movement.

An insurgency.
Signal Chats and CCP-Linked Dark Money: Who Really Bankrolled the Agitators
Inside the Signal groups, organizers prepared for confrontation like soldiers heading into battle.
One coordinator identified as "Mason D" offered to supply decontamination wipes designed to neutralize pepper spray, protective pads for knees and elbows, and electrolytes to keep protesters in the field for extended clashes with federal agents.
Fox also obtained a strategy document called the "Delaney Hall Creator Brief" that instructed activists and online influencers on approved language.
The document told them to call Delaney Hall a "concentration camp" – and to tell their followers that detainees weren't arrested.
They were "kidnapped."
They were "abducted."
They were "taken."
Those aren't the words of a civil rights movement.
Those are the words of a disinformation operation.
Behind the funding sits Neville Roy Singham – an American tech billionaire who sold his company for $785 million in 2017 and relocated to Shanghai.
Congressional investigators say Singham has routed more than $20 million through shell companies and donor-advised funds into American left-wing organizations – including groups connected to the Delaney Hall network.
In November 2025, he appeared at a Shanghai conference where he praised Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party's global ambitions, according to reporting by RedState.
Sen. Josh Hawley sent a formal letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this year demanding a full DOJ investigation into the CCP-linked funding, describing the operation as a "coordinated national operation" whose "scale, geographic simultaneity, messaging uniformity, and logistical sophistication" are inconsistent with lawful domestic advocacy.
The Tax-Exempt Scam: How Anti-ICE Nonprofits Exploit the IRS
Here is the part that should make every taxpayer furious.
The IRS is effectively subsidizing this.
Every dollar these 501(c)(3) organizations spend coordinating riots is a dollar the federal government decided deserves tax protection.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith has already demanded records from The People's Forum – one of the network's key nodes – which admitted receiving more than $20 million from Singham.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and three separate House committees have launched investigations into whether nonprofit law is being weaponized to fund political violence.
The answer, based on what Fox found in those Signal chats, is yes.
Here is what proves this was never a movement: when citizen journalists and Fox News cracked open the Signal groups and exposed the network's funding, the crowds at Delaney Hall evaporated almost immediately.
Hundreds of protesters gone overnight – after a single stand-down message circulated through private chat channels.
Real movements don't dissolve the moment someone turns the lights on.
Operations do.
Strip these groups of their tax-exempt status, refer Singham's network to the DOJ under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and find out exactly how much of this traces back to Beijing.
