Simon Andriesz

The growing number of deaths in the Jeffrey Epstein-Donald Trump orbit deserves a thorough investigation to rule out whether any of them are not what they are purported to be: suicides and/or accidents.

The latest death happened September 23. Simon Andriesz, 57, a former British banker who exposed financial ties between Epstein and Trump’s commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, was found dead in a town just outside of Bangkok, Thailand. His death was reported as “asphyxiation from hanging.”

It’s not clear why he was in Bangkok since he was most recently living in Cornwall, England. But it comes just months after he wrote about the toll that going up against powerful people had taken on his life.

“The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me,” Andriesz said in his last post on X, dated Aug 9.

He used the word “retaliation,” which could mean a lot of things. His family has said he committed suicide. He was obviously under enormous pressure, and not getting any support from the very governments and law enforcement authorities who were supposed to protect him as a whistleblower with key information about possible corruption.
