Mysterious Death Of Lutnick Whistleblower

 

Commerce Secretary and mega grifter Howard "Nutlick" Lutnick was entangled with the late pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a fact that he tried to conceal in testimony before Congress.  Now, new reports are emerging that a British banker was about to release more damning evidence of Nutlick's connection, but was found dead last week in what officials are calling a suicide.  The Banker has more:

"Former British banker and whistleblower Simon Andriesz, who flagged Howard Lutnick’s alleged links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has died by suicide.

Andriesz was previously a managing director at Wall Street firm BGC Group where Lutnick, now the US commerce secretary, was chief executive officer.

The death of the 57-year-old was confirmed by Andy Agathangelou, the founder of campaign group Transparency Task Force, which has previously hosted events related to whistleblowing with Andriesz. [snip]

In February, Lutnick confirmed he had visited Epstein’s island in 2012, contradicting previous statements that he had ended ties with the sex offender years earlier.

Speaking before the Senate Appropriations Committee, he said: “I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies . . . We had lunch on the island. That is true. For an hour.”

Andriesz previously told the BBC how he unearthed evidence indicating that Lutnick failed to disclose a business relationship with Epstein, telling the broadcaster that he had discovered an email chain from 2018 in which Lutnick and Epstein had discussed the prospects of a start-up business they were both involved in."

Nutlick is one of the perverted Malignant Fascist's most vociferous cheerleaders, who made over $250 million in income in 2025 as Commerce Secretary.  We're hoping the BBC can shed more light on his relationship with Epstein, and the circumstances of Simon Andriesz's death.

QOTD: "Stupid Grifters Like Howard Lutnick"

 

Nobel Prize laureate Paul Krugman vents on one of the Malignant Fascist's insipid and morally bankrupt flunkies, Commerce Secretary Howard "Nutlick" Lutnick.  Read all of Krugman's takedown, "The Banality of MAGA Evil," where later he discusses Nutlick's former firm Cantor Fitzgerald's relationship with a cryptocurrency that's popular with international criminals:

"There are people in positions of great power in the U.S. government engaged in evil conspiracies against everything that is good and decent. Their conspiracies are far more extensive and damaging than almost anyone imagined. But there are no evil masterminds behind this. Only amoral, stupid grifters like Howard Lutnick.

During Trump 47’s first year, Lutnick, the Commerce secretary, was an omnipresent spokesman for Donald Trump’s policies, a constant presence on TV, especially the Sunday talk shows.

He was not impressive in that role. Unlike Scott Bessent, he lacked any hint of gravitas. He doesn’t have Pete Hegseth’s hair. Moreover, Lutnick’s Trump boosterism has been consistently and embarrassingly incompetent.

The only waves he has made are a result of his exceptional combination of stupidity and offensive tone-deafness."  (our emphasis)

Yesterday, Nutlick appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee and finally admitted visiting the notorious island of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and of having a social and business relationship with him long after he had previously acknowledged.

QOTD -- Know Your Place!

 

"It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas." (our emphasis) -- Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, in an interview on CNBC yesterday, briefly describing his vision of a "new" labor paradigm, very much like a dystopian 19th Century paradigm of people working in the same factories generation after generation.  Luckily for them, oligarch billionaire Lutnick has a better plan for own children, and though it doesn't involve factory work, it does involve continuity:

No DEI there!  Just true merit-based careers that they can pass on to their children, too!
