美国司法部和FBI盯上了一名新的共产主义资助者，他涉嫌金融犯罪：小詹姆斯·“弗吉”·考克斯·钱伯斯，科克斯有线电视帝国疏远的叛逆继承人。
据消息人士透露，周五，西班牙警方在奢华度假胜地伊维萨岛拘留了钱伯斯，当时他正面临国际逮捕令。钱伯斯被控洗钱和为哈马斯提供支持，此前他多年来一直在资助反以色列和反西方组织及抗议活动。他帮助资助和支持的跨国网络正试图将他描绘成特朗普政府“法西斯主义”的受害者，而批评人士则称赞此次逮捕是早就该采取的行动。
管辖伊维萨岛的西班牙巴利阿里群岛警方发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，一名美国公民因与国际逮捕令相关的指控于周五被捕，该逮捕令要求将其引渡至美国。该发言人未确认该公民的身份，但消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，此人正是钱伯斯。

FBI称新任务中心已识别出“恶意”抗议资金来源及相关人员
该警方发言人补充说，该男子目前被关押在伊维萨岛中央监狱，等待将通过视频会议进行的司法裁决。支持者计划于周二晚上7点在伊维萨岛监狱外举行“释放弗吉·钱伯斯”抗议活动，抗议“特朗普的法西斯主义”，即“特朗普迫害巴勒斯坦人民捍卫者的法西斯主义”。
FBI发言人拒绝置评。记者无法联系到钱伯斯及其代表置评。
作为一名皈依伊斯兰教的人，钱伯斯代表了社会主义和共产主义活动家与伊斯兰主义利益的融合，这些势力旨在摧毁西方、自由企业和以色列国，并推动政治伊斯兰、共产主义和一个新的巴勒斯坦国的崛起。

他的意识形态同志将他被拘留的消息泄露给了极左翼媒体平台上的可信同事——其中一些媒体正是由钱伯斯资助的——他的共产主义、社会主义和伊斯兰主义同志们正席卷社交媒体，将此次逮捕的叙事塑造为特朗普政府不公平地 targeting 钱伯斯。
此次逮捕是特朗普政府打击涉嫌支持政治暴力的极左翼资助者的重要举措。与其他调查一样，联邦当局正追踪资金流向，并调查潜在的税务和金融犯罪。
FBI副局长克里斯·拉亚近日告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，FBI联合任务中心的调查人员已确定与资助暴力抗议活动有关的人员，并一直在构建可起诉的案件。

与被指控在中国上海为共产主义和极左翼非营利组织提供资金的美国科技大亨内维尔·罗伊·辛格汉姆一样，钱伯斯也因在全球范围内为反以色列和反美国事业提供资金支持而声名狼藉。据福克斯新闻数字频道独家报道，司法部已就涉嫌洗钱和其他金融不当行为对辛格汉姆启动大陪审团调查。目前，司法部正对南部贫困法律中心提起诉讼，指控其洗钱、银行欺诈和电信欺诈。

钱伯斯于1985年出生在布鲁克林，原名小詹姆斯·考克斯·钱伯斯，父亲是詹姆斯·考克斯·钱伯斯，母亲是女演员劳伦·汉密尔顿。他是前俄亥俄州州长、1920年民主党总统候选人、后来创立考克斯企业的媒体公司的詹姆斯·M·考克斯的曾孙。《福布斯》估计考克斯家族的帝国价值约270亿美元。
钱伯斯如今是考克斯企业疏远的继承人，2023年因家族对亚特兰大有争议的公共安全训练中心（批评人士称之为“警察城”）的支持而与家人决裂，随后带着估计约2.5亿美元的薪酬离开了家族企业。今年4月，大陪审团起诉了三名据称与“反法西斯行动”有关的抗议者，他们被控向亚特兰大警察训练中心的总承包商投掷燃烧弹。

钱伯斯公开将自己的财富用于资助共产主义集体、保释金和法律资助，以及参与激烈抗议和破坏财产活动的团体。
父母离婚后，钱伯斯主要在布鲁克林长大，曾就读于圣安学校，后来进入巴德学院但未毕业。他曾短暂在考克斯企业的一家子公司工作，之后在佐治亚州经营健身房，并在2014年密苏里州弗格森市的反警察抗议活动和2016年南达科他州Standing Rock反对石油管道的示威活动后，越来越多地参与左翼激进活动。
大约在2019年，钱伯斯在马萨诸塞州西部富裕的奥尔福德镇成立了“伯克希尔共产主义者”集体，他在这里建立了一个公社，运营伯克希尔人民健身房，并推出了一份名为“战斗自由主义”的出版物。

在2023年10月7日哈马斯恐怖袭击后，钱伯斯成为“巴勒斯坦行动”（后更名为“田野团结”）最突出的资助者之一，同时还为参与英国和美国反以色列示威和直接行动运动的活动人士提供法律辩护资助。
他称赞10月7日的哈马斯袭击是一个“希望和鼓舞人心的时刻”，告诉《母亲琼斯》杂志，“对人类繁荣最重要的事情是摧毁美国”，并表示“我每天都在高呼‘去死吧美国’。”
当地和全国性报道显示，他是“停止警察城”抗议活动的幕后支持者，为占领活动和针对为以色列提供服务的公司埃尔比特系统公司的新罕布什尔州梅里马克市和英国的抗议活动提供保释金，并为美国和英国由有争议的“巴勒斯坦行动”领导的网络提供持续的法律支持。

在马萨诸塞州奥尔福德镇因违反分区规定和执法审查加强而关闭他的伯克希尔人民健身房后，钱伯斯搬到了北非国家突尼斯的突尼斯市。
2024年2月初，人们拍摄到他在新定居的突尼斯市，塑造自己虔诚的穆斯林皈依者形象：肩上披着红白相间的巴勒斯坦凯菲耶头巾，头上戴着黑色的穆斯林祈祷帽，脸上留着小胡子，这一传统遵循了伊斯兰教先知穆罕默德的逊奈（即惯例）。
这次拍照活动包括钱伯斯进行穆斯林祈祷的画面：有时双手放在胸前，有时处于“鞠躬”姿势，身体前倾双手放在膝盖上，专注地盯着前方。在其他照片中，他在当地一座清真寺附近行走，坐在一辆汽车的方向盘后，后视镜上挂着橙绿色的穆斯林祈祷珠“塔斯比”，仪表盘上铺着红白相间的凯菲耶头巾，上面放着一副装饰性拳击手套，手腕上印有“俄罗斯”字样。

对于传统穆斯林来说，这并不常见，因为原教旨主义对伊斯兰教的解释禁止将狗作为家庭宠物，但钱伯斯还是被拍到抽烟并带着两只看起来像斗牛犬的小狗在海滩上散步。他还有纹身，包括左手上的镰刀和杠铃图案。
到2026年5月，他的社交媒体帖子显示他在爱尔兰。本月，这位自称共产主义者在富人群体聚集的伊维萨岛度假，如今却身陷囹圄。

FBI snares an American heir indicted for allegedly bankrolling anti-cop, pro-Hamas communist revolution

Chambers, who praised the Oct. 7 attacks as a ‘moment of hope,’ faces extradition after Spanish police detained him

FBI says it has identified ‘nefarious’ funding sources behind violent protests
FBI Co-Deputy Director Chris Raia says investigators have identified subjects tied to financing violent protest activity and are working to build prosecutable cases as the bureau follows the money.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Justice Department and FBI have a new communist financier in their crosshairs for alleged financial crimes: James “Fergie” Cox Chambers Jr., the estranged bad-boy heir to the Cox cable empire.
On Friday, Spanish police detained Chambers on the luxury island of Ibiza, in response to an international arrest warrant, according to sources. Chambers is allegedly wanted for money laundering and providing support to Hamas, following years of financing anti-Israel and anti-West organizations and protests. The transnational network he helped fund and support is kicking in to cast him as a victim of the Trump administration’s “fascism,” while critics are cheering the arrest as long overdue.
A spokesman for Spain’s Balearic Islands police branch, which includes Ibiza in its jurisdiction, told Fox News Digital that a U.S. citizen was arrested on charges tied to an international arrest warrant Friday under an international arrest warrant seeking his extradition to the United States. The spokesman did not confirm the identity of the citizen, but sources told Fox News Digital that the individual is Chambers.

FBI SAYS NEW MISSION CENTER HAS IDENTIFIED ‘NEFARIOUS’ PROTEST FUNDING AND SUBJECTS
The police spokesman added that the individual is being held at the central jail in Ibiza pending a judicial decision that will be conducted by videoconference. Supporters now plan a “Free Fergie Chambers” protest on Tuesday at 7 p.m. outside the prison in Ibiza, demonstrating against “DEL FASCISMO DE TRUMP,” or the “TRUMP’S FASCISM IN PERSECUTING DEFENDERS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.”
A spokesperson for the FBI declined to comment. Chambers and his representatives couldn’t be reached for comment.
A convert to Islam, Chambers represents the fusion of socialist and communist activists with Islamist interests that seek the destruction of the West, free enterprise and the state of Israel and the rise of political Islam, communism and a new Palestinian state.

Chambers’ ideological comrades leaked news of the detention to trusted colleagues on far-left media platforms – some of which Chambers funds – and his communist, socialist and Islamist comrades are flooding social media to frame the narrative around the arrest as the Trump administration unfairly targeting Chambers.
The arrest is a significant move by the Trump administration as it targets far-left financiers allegedly engaged in supporting political violence. In this case, as in other investigations, federal authorities are following the money and investigating potential tax and financial crimes.
FBI Co-Deputy Director Chris Raia recently told Fox News Digital that investigators at the FBI’s Joint Mission Center have identified subjects tied to financing violent protest activity and have been building prosecutable cases.

Like Neville Roy Singham, the American tech tycoon accused of financing communist and far-left nonprofit organizations from his base in Shanghai, China, Chambers has made a name for himself as a financial backer of anti-Israel and anti-American causes around the world. As reported exclusively at Fox News Digital, the Justice Department has launched a grand jury investigation into Singham for alleged money laundering and other financial improprieties. It is currently prosecuting the Southern Poverty Law Center for alleged money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud.

Chambers was born in 1985 in Brooklyn as James Cox Chambers Jr. to his father, James Cox Chambers, and mother, actress Lauren Hamilton. He is the great-grandson of James M. Cox, a former Ohio governor, 1920 Democratic presidential nominee and founder of the media company that became Cox Enterprises. Forbes estimates the Cox family empire is worth about $27 billion.
Chambers is now the estranged heir of Cox Enterprises, walking away from the family company in 2023 with a payout estimated at about $250 million after a falling out with his family over the company’s support for Atlanta’s controversial public safety training center, known by critics as “Cop City.” In April, a grand jury indicted three allegedAntifa-linked protesters accused of throwing firebombs at the general contractor of the Atlanta police training center.

Chambers openly redirected his fortune into communist collectives, bail and legal underwriting and groups engaged in hard-edged protest and property disruption.
Raised mostly in Brooklyn after his parents divorced, Chambers attended Saint Ann’s School and later enrolled at Bard College but didn’t graduate. He briefly worked for a Cox Enterprises subsidiary before operating gyms in Georgia and later became increasingly involved in left-wing activism following the anti-police protests in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014 and the demonstrations in Standing Rock, S.D., in 2016 against an oil pipeline.
Around 2019, Chambers established the “Berkshire Communists” collective in Alford, Mass., in a wealthy corner of western Massachusetts, where he built a commune, operated the Berkshire People’s Gym and launched a publication called “Combat Liberalism.”

Following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks, Chambers became one of the most prominent financial backers of “Palestine Action,” later renamed “Unity of Fields,” while also funding legal defense efforts for activists involved in anti-Israel demonstrations and direct-action campaigns in the United Kingdom and the U.S.
He praised the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks as a “moment of hope and inspiration,” told Mother Jones that “the most important thing for the prosperity of humanity is the destruction of the US” and said, “I chant death to America every day.”
Local and national reporting place him behind the “Stop Cop City” opposition, bail after occupations and protests against Elbit Systems, a company that provides services to Israel, in Merrimack, N.H., and the U.K., and ongoing legal support for networks in the U.S. and U.K. led by the controversial “Palestine Action.”

After Alford, Mass., shut his Berkshire People’s Gym for zoning violations and law-enforcement scrutiny intensified, Chambers relocated to Tunis, in the North African nation of Tunisia.
In early February 2024, Chambers was photographed in his newly adopted city of Tunis in the North African nation of Tunisia, framing his narrative as a pious Muslim convert, with a red-and-white Palestinian kefiyyeh scarf draped over his shoulders, a black Muslim prayer cap on his head and a small beard on his face, a tradition that follows the sunnah, or practice, of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam.
The photo shoot included images of Chambers in Muslim prayer, at one point with his hands on his chest and at another point in “ruku” position, bent forward with his hands on his knees, staring at a point of concentration in front of him. In other shots, he walked by a local mosque, sat behind the wheel of a car with orange and green Muslim prayer beads, called “tazbi,” hanging on the rearview mirror. A pair of decorative boxing gloves with “RUSSIA” across the wrists, positioned on a red-and-white kefiyyeh spread along the dashboard.

Unconventional for traditional Muslims, who don’t often have dogs as pets because of a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam that bars dogs as pets in the home, Chambers also was photographed smoking a cigarette and walking on the beach with two small dogs who look like bulldogs. He also wore tattoos, including a sickle-and-barbells on his left hand.
By May 2026, his social media posts placed him in Ireland. This month, the self-declared communist vacationed among the wealthy in Ibiza, is now sitting in prison.
