Whistleblower, 57, Found Hanged in Thailand After Exposing Trump Official Howard Lutnick's Links to Jeffrey Epstein

A British banking whistleblower who blew the lid off alleged links between Jeffrey Epstein and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was found dead in Thailand after reportedly dying by hanging, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Simon Andriesz, 57, had accused his former boss, Lutnick, 65, a key Donald Trump administration figure, of failing to disclose an alleged business relationship with the s-- predator.

Andriesz, who lived in Cornwall, England, died on September 23, and authorities in Khlong Luang, outside Bangkok.

"Simon was a much-loved husband, father, brother, son and friend, and his loss has left an enormous hole in the lives of those who knew and loved him," his family said in a statement to a publication.

"He was also a man with a very strong sense of right and wrong. When Simon believed something was wrong, he found it extraordinarily difficult simply to look the other way. That determination came at a considerable personal cost, but he continued to speak out because he genuinely believed that doing so mattered," the statement continued.

The family added, "If something meaningful can come from this tragedy, particularly in the way whistleblowers and vulnerable people are treated and supported, then that would be an important part of Simon's legacy."

The banker claimed he unearthed 2018 emails that appeared to show Lutnick and Epstein discussing a start-up venture in which both men allegedly had a stake.

That exchange would have taken place one year before Epstein was arrested on federal s-- trafficking charges. He was found dead in his cell at Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center a month after being taken into custody.

Andriesz previously served as a managing director at Wall Street powerhouse BGC Group, then known as BGC Partners, while Lutnick sat at the top as CEO.

The banker’s name later surfaced in the Epstein files after he reportedly spoke with the FBI while locked in a bitter dispute with BGC over accounting irregularities he claimed to have uncovered.

BGC has fiercely fought back against Andriesz's accusations, branding them "categorically false" and insisting multiple investigations across several jurisdictions failed to substantiate his claims.

The Wall Street firm also maintained Andriesz was ultimately fired after allegedly refusing to follow medical advice, failing to carry out essential job duties, rejecting what it described as reasonable accommodations, and eventually abandoning his position.

Lutnick sat for a four-hour closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee in May, where he described having "virtually nonexistent interactions" with Epstein.

The convicted s-- offender was Lutnick's New York City next-door neighbor for 14 years.

Lutnick has insisted his face-to-face contact with Epstein was limited to just three encounters: a 2005 tour of the disgraced financier’s home that he and his wife allegedly cut short after a disturbing remark, a brief 2011 doorstep conversation about scaffolding on their properties, and a 2012 lunch with family and friends on Epstein's notorious private island in the Caribbean.

A January DOJ document dump contradicted the claims, unearthing a 2012 email exchange between Epstein and Lutnick where the men made lunch plans.

During his testimony, Lutnick stressed, "At no time during these limited interactions did I witness any conduct, let alone the type of illegal conduct of which we have since become aware."

Lutnick was also grilled over 2018 emails with Epstein about Adfin Solutions, a company in which both men held stock. Lutnick insisted he had no idea Epstein was also an investor until recently released documents revealed the connection.
