British banker and whistleblower Simon Andriesz, who exposed Howard Lutnick’s financial and personal links to Jeffrey Epstein and the elite pedophile network, has been found dead in suspicious circumstances. He was 57.
The British banker uncovered 2018 emails linking Howard Lutnick to Jeffrey Epstein’s Adfin investment and took them to House Oversight.
He also revealed that Lutnick continued visiting Epstein’s Little St. James Island for years after his conviction on child sex charges. He also revealed that Lutnick was Epstein’s business partner until as late as 2018, contradicting Lutnick’s claims.

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.”
Speaking before the Senate Appropriations Committee, Lutnick 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.”
