(From another article on this):

"Former British banker and whistleblower Simon Andriesz, who outed Howard Lutnick’s links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has died by suicide.

Andriesz was previously a managing director at Wall Street firm BGC Group where Lutnick, now the US commerce secretary, was chief executive officer.

The death of the 57-year-old was confirmed by Andy Agathangelou, the founder of campaign group Transparency Task Force, which has previously hosted events related to whistleblowing with Andriesz. Agathangelou said: “It is with great sadness that we share the news that Simon Andriesz, a valued member of our community, passed away last week.”

In February, Lutnick confirmed he had visited Epstein’s island in 2012, contradicting previous statements that he had ended ties with the sex offender years earlier. Speaking before the Senate Appropriations Committee, he said: “I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies . . . We had lunch on the island. That is true. For an hour.”

Andriesz previously told the BBC how he unearthed evidence indicating that Lutnick failed to disclose a business relationship with Epstein, telling the broadcaster that he had discovered an email chain from 2018 in which Lutnick and Epstein had discussed the prospects of a start-up business they were both involved in. The case was featured in the BBC’s File on 4 Investigates, which was broadcast in July in an episode titled The Epstein Files: Lutnick, the Royals and the British Whistleblower.

Lutnick has previously said on the matter: “I unequivocally condemn the conduct attributed to Jeffrey Epstein and everyone who participated in his illegal activities. The survivors of his crimes deserve our respect and support.”

Shortly after the episode aired, Andriesz spoke at a Transparency Task Force event about what he said was the UK regulator’s mistreatment of whistleblowers, describing the personal cost of coming forward to his career, his health and his family. Andriesz spent over 35 years working in financial markets."

Can't even be bothered to be a parent when he's taking kids kids on an alleged vacation to a pedophiles house.

Wonder why they would need secondary people there to watch over their kids on a family vacation.

Wonder if maybe they didn't spend all their time together and he needed to be able to leave them without his supervision for hours at a time.

He gave their ages. Who the fuck does that? A dude trafficking his kids.

[u/yooperwoman → u/40StoryMech]

Maybe he SAID they were his kids and he was giving ages of victims?

[u/40StoryMech → u/yooperwoman]

Right. Like why would a pedo bring his kids to his traffickers island? Did they even go, or was he putting in his order?

If he died by suicide because of the mistreatment of whistleblowers, his death is still on their hands.

So basically even if he did kill himself, he was pushed to it by powerful people in the industry and the government did nothing to support him
