The 57-year-old whistleblower who exposed ties between Howard Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein died by hanging, a new report has revealed.
British banker Simon Andriesz’s cause of death has been listed as “asphyxiation from hanging,” the Daily Mail reported Tuesday, citing a Thai town’s municipality office.
There has been much speculation about the circumstances surrounding the death of Andriesz, whose body was found on Sept. 23 in a town outside Bangkok.
Andriesz alleged to the FBI that Lutnick, now Commerce Secretary, failed to disclose a business relationship with Epstein. Andriesz was once a managing director at BGC’s Wall Street firm, where Lutnick was previously CEO.
Andriesz said he unearthed 2018 emails that showed Lutnick and Epstein discussing a start-up business a decade after he was convicted for soliciting prostitution from a child. Epstein died about a year after the email exchange.
Andriesz found the emails by searching the DOJ’s release of Epstein documents for “HWL,” Lutnick’s initials, knowing from his years working with Lutnick that executives preferred to use initials in emails, he told the BBC in July.
