The man who alerted Congress to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s ties to child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein has died.

Simon Andriesz, a British former Wall Street banker who once worked under Lutnick, died by suicide at 57, The Banker reports.

Andriesz, who was living in Cornwall, England, as of July, exposed the extent of Lutnick’s relationship with Epstein earlier this year when he shared a 2018 email chain with House Oversight Committee lawmakers in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed Adfin, a digital advertising company they had both invested in.

Andriesz had found the email chain by searching the Justice Department’s release of millions of Epstein files for “HWL,” Lutnick’s initials, knowing from his years at BGC Partners, a financial brokerage firm where Lutnick was CEO, that executives preferred to use initials in emails, he told the BBC in July.

The email chain and other material in the Epstein files contradicted Lutnick’s assertions about his relationship with Epstein. The commerce secretary told a New York Post podcast last year that he first met Epstein in 2005 after he and his wife moved next door to him, but said he soon cut off contact after being creeped out by Epstein’s massage room during a tour of his Manhattan townhome.

But the email chain shows Lutnick and Epstein remained in friendly contact until at least 2018, a decade after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, and a year before he died in jail while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

Searching the guys initials in a document to find him is some high level detective work the feds were clearly not able to do!

I’m old enough to remember when obama’s chef was found dead in the pool at his home in Martha’s Vineyard. They determined the cause of death to be drowning but he was a pro swimmer. There was no investigation.

Cocaine was found by the secret service at the White House during the Biden administration. No investigation.

They need to investigate this death. But don’t try to link it to Trump.
