FCA to examine how it treated whistleblower who died by suicide

The FCA has launched an investigation into its handling of a whistleblower, Simon Andriesz, who died by suicide last month at age 57. Andriesz, a British banker and member of the Transparency Task Force, had reported alleged wrongdoing at a Cantor Fitzgerald-controlled brokerage. Specifically, he helped expose suspected links between the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. The regulator is now examining how it treated the whistleblower during this process.
