Simon Andriesz, a former senior employee at Wall Street brokerage company BGC Partners, uncovered evidence of business links between its then-CEO and current US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein, the American financier and convicted sex offender, died on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. His death was ruled a suicide. But while Epstein now lies interred in a nameless crypt in Palm Beach, Florida, questions continue to surround the true nature and extent of his activities. How extensive was his trafficking operation? How was he able to maintain ties with some of the world's most powerful individuals? What happened to the evidence collected by investigators over the years? And how many others knew about, enabled or helped expose his activities?
Much of what is known about Epstein's crimes has emerged through the work of investigators and the testimony of survivors, whistle-blowers and former associates. In recent years, however, several people connected to the case have died, including some from natural causes and others by suicide, with Andriesz becoming the latest entry in the list.
