News world Who Is Simon Andriesz: Whistleblower Who Exposed US Commerce Secretary Lutnick’s Epstein Links Dies
Simon Andriesz, the whistleblower who brought attention to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s links to Jeffrey Epstein, has reportedly died six months after exposing email exchanges involving the two.
The 58-year-old former British banker had revealed email trails in February 2026 concerning a startup in which Lutnick and Epstein were both involved.
Andriesz was associated with Transparency Task Force, a watchdog that monitors financial services companies. Andy Agathangelou, the organisation’s founder, confirmed Andriesz’s death on September 25.
“It is with great sadness that we share the news that Simon Andriesz, a valued member of our community, passed away last week," Andy Agathangelou said.
Kentucky US Representative Thomas Massie also confirmed Andriesz’s death.
“Andriesz, the British banker who uncovered 2018 emails linking Howard Lutnick to Jeffrey Epstein’s Adfin investment and took them to House Oversight, has died at age 57. BBC reported his findings," Massie wrote on X. “Lutnick later admitted to visiting the island but not the business dealings."
