MPs Call for Investigation After Lutnick-Epstein Whistleblower Dies

British MPs are demanding an investigation into the UK's financial watchdog following the death of Simon Andriesz, a former financial broker. Andriesz had raised concerns with regulators regarding alleged links between US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein. Before his death in Thailand last month, Andriesz expressed deep frustration with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). He claimed he was let down and faced retaliation after submitting evidence of corporate misconduct and whistleblower mistreatment.
