英国议员团体呼吁对金融行为监管局（FCA）的举报人处理流程进行独立调查1。这一呼声源于交易员Simon Andriesz的离世，他曾向FCA、美国联邦调查局等多个监管机构举报美国商务部长Howard Lutnick与已故性犯罪者Jeffrey Epstein的商业联系1。Andriesz于9月23日在泰国去世，其家人表示系自杀身亡，无谋杀迹象1。
Andriesz曾提交证据指控Lutnick在2013年向英国前王子Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor提议商业合作，涉及£1百万贷款1。他还向有关机构提交证据，指控BGC Partners挪用经纪人奖金，但该公司对此予以否认1。然而FCA曾告知Andriesz其所提交的证据"不足"以认定存在报复行为1。
工党下院议员John McDonnell将此事称为"深刻且可预防的悲剧"1。为回应议员团体的关切，FCA任命前英格兰银行董事Lea Paterson进行审查1。
British legislators are demanding an independent inquiry into how financial regulators handled a whistleblower who died in Thailand last month. Simon Andriesz, who had reported allegations linking U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, died on September 23 in what his family described as suicide with no signs of foul play.1
Andriesz had submitted evidence to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the FBI, and other agencies alleging that Lutnick proposed a business arrangement involving a £1 million loan to Prince Andrew in 2013.1 He also filed complaints against BGC Partners, accusing the brokerage firm of misappropriating broker bonuses—allegations the company has denied.1 When Andriesz brought these concerns forward, the FCA informed him that his evidence was "insufficient" to establish any retaliatory conduct.1
Following his death, members of Parliament have raised urgent questions about whistleblower protections. Labour MP John McDonnell characterized the situation as a "profound and preventable tragedy,"1 while a group of legislators has called for an independent body to assess how the FCA treated Andriesz during his attempts to report misconduct.1 In response, the FCA has appointed Lea Paterson, a former Bank of England director, to conduct a review.1
