Andriesz, a former managing director at BGC Partners, provided the FBI and House Oversight Committee with 2018 emails showing that Lutnick and Epstein both invested in a firm called Adfin. His reports contributed to a $3 million fine from the CFTC in 2019 and a £96 million tax assessment by HMRC. A UK tribunal dismissed a lawsuit Andriesz filed against Lutnick and BGC in August 2026 on the grounds that it was submitted past the legal deadline. Lutnick has denied a business relationship with Epstein despite admitting he visited the financier's private island.
