Simon Andriesz在上月去世前曾表示对英国金融行为监管局感到失望。
Simon Andriesz said he felt let down by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority before his death last month.
据安迪·沃蒂写道，多位英国议员表示，英国金融监管机构对举报人的态度必须接受调查，此事源于一位曝光了美国商务部长霍华德·拉特尼克与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦之间联系证据的英国交易员之死。
By Andy Verity The treatment of whistleblowers by the UK's financial watchdog must be investigated following the death of a British trader who exposed evidence of links between US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein, MPs have said.
西蒙·安德里斯，是前BGC合伙人公司的高级员工，该公司由拉特尼克在出任美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的提名之前创立并经营。他于上个月在泰国去世。
Simon Andriesz, a former senior employee of BGC Partners - the international firm of financial brokers founded and run by Lutnick before his appointment by US President Donald Trump - died last month in Thailand. Earlier this year, Andriesz raised concerns with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the FBI and other watchdogs about evidence he had uncovered of business links between Epstein and Lutnick.
今年早些时候，安德里斯向英国金融行为监管局（FCA）、FBI和其他监管机构提交了他所发现的爱泼斯坦与拉特尼克之间商业往来证据的担忧。这对拉特尼克关于与已故性罪犯的关联所做的公开声明提出了质疑。
It cast doubt on Lutnick's public statements about his associations with the late sex offender. A group of UK MPs have now said his death raises "deeply troubling questions" about the way whistleblowers can be treated when they approach the FCA - the financial regulator - with concerns about wrongdoing and subsequent retaliation.
一群英国议员现在表示，安德里斯的去世引发了“非常令人不安的问题”，即当举报人向FCA——也就是金融监管机构——报告不法行为并面临报复时，他们可能会被如何对待。安德里斯的家人表示，他于9月23日自尽，没有任何不轨之兆。
Andriesz's family said he had taken his own life on 23 September, and that there was no suggestion of foul play. Andriesz uncovered evidence that Lutnick had sought, in Andriesz's words, to "buy a prince", offering to go into business with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in 2013 and utilise the former prince's contacts to attract investments, in exchange for a loan of £1m.
安德里斯发现了证据，证明拉特尼克曾试图“买一个王子”，2013年他提议与安德里斯·蒙巴顿-温莎王子合伙创业，并利用这位前王子的人脉吸引投资，以换取100万英镈的贷款。BGC公司告诉BBC，这项合资项目并未进行。
BGC told the BBC the proposed joint venture did not go ahead. Andriesz also submitted evidence to the FCA to support his allegations of misconduct at Lutnick's former firm, including an allegation that cash from the pool of commission money set aside to pay brokers' bonuses was "embezzled" for improper purposes – an allegation the firm has denied.
安德里斯还向FCA提交了证据，以支持他对拉特尼克前公司的不当行为指控，其中包括一项指控，即用于支付经纪人奖金的佣金资金池中的现款被“挪用”用于不当目的——这一指控该公司已予否认。
Weeks before his death, Andriesz told a public event led by MPs, whistleblowers and campaigners calling for fairer regulation that he felt "thoroughly let down" and had been put through "absolute hell" by the FCA, to whom he had sent evidence of what he regarded as whistleblower retaliation by BGC and its lawyers.
在他去世前几周，Andriesz告诉一个由国会议员，举报人和活动家领导的公共活动，呼吁更公平的监管，他感到“彻底失望”，并被FCA置于“绝对地狱”，他向FCA发送了他认为BGC及其律师的举报人报复的证据。
The FCA had previously told Andriesz there was "insufficient evidence" to conclude there had been retaliation, a conclusion he believed made it harder to win a claim against BGC at tribunal.
FCA此前曾告诉Andriesz，没有“足够的证据”得出报复的结论，他认为这一结论使得在法庭上更难赢得对BGC的索赔。
BGC previously told the BBC it had strong policies protecting whistleblowers and denied retaliating against him.
BGC此前告诉BBC，它有强有力的政策保护举报人，并否认对他进行报复。
John McDonnell, the Labour backbench MP and chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Investment Fraud and Fairer Financial Services, described Andriesz's death as a "profound and preventable tragedy".
工党后座议员、投资欺诈和更公平金融服务问题跨党派议会小组主席约翰？麦克唐纳（John McDonnell）将安德列兹的死描述为一场“深刻而可预防的悲剧”。
He said whistleblowers were "an essential part of the financial regulatory system" and warned there would be consequences for the integrity of the system if people did not believe they would be "treated properly, protected appropriately and listened to seriously". The group of MPs called for the FCA to pay for an independent party to evaluate its handling of whistleblowers.
他表示，举报人是“金融监管体系的重要组成部分”，并警告说，如果人们不相信自己会“得到适当对待、适当保护和认真倾听”，那么该体系的完整性就会受到后果。
'Extreme retaliation and devastation'
该议员团体呼吁FCA为一个独立政党付费，以评估其对举报人的处理方式。“极端的报复和破坏”今年7月，安德里兹告诉国会议员和活动人士，FCA已充分了解他早在2018年就提出的其他严重指控，并指责其不作为。
In July, Andriesz told MPs and campaigners the FCA had been fully informed about other serious allegations he had made as long ago as 2018 and accused it of inaction. The FCA told the BBC in July it had acted on his allegations and pointed to a supervision order it had issued based on his information.
FCA于7月告诉BBC，已对他的指控采取行动，并指出根据他的信息发布了一项监督令。
But in Andriesz's view that amounted to little more than a regulatory "slap on the wrist" and made it harder to make a claim for whistleblower retaliation against BGC at tribunal.
但安德里兹认为，这只不过是监管部门的“一记耳光”，并使在法庭上就举报人对BGC进行报复变得更加困难。
Later that month, he told a meeting of the campaign group the Transparency Task Force the FCA was not fulfilling its obligations to the public and whistleblowers and merely "pays lip service" to the rules and regulations.
当月晚些时候，他在竞选组织透明度特别工作组的一次会议上表示，FCA没有履行对公众和举报人的义务，只是对规则和法规“口头上说说”。
"It protects the institution and then exposes the whistleblower to extreme retaliation and devastation to their lives and families," he said.
他说：“它保护了该机构，然后让举报人面临极端的报复，并对他们的生活和家庭造成破坏。”
The FCA told the BBC it was appointing a new non-executive director on its board, former Bank of England director Lea Paterson, to conduct a review into Andriesz's treatment and the FCA's handling of his whistleblower allegations.
FCA告诉BBC，它正在任命一名新的董事会非执行董事、前英格兰银行董事莉亚·帕特森（Lea Paterson），对安德里兹的待遇以及FCA对其举报人指控的处理进行审查。
An FCA spokesperson said: "We are very sorry to hear of Mr Andriesz's death.
FCA发言人表示：“听到安德里兹先生的去世，我们感到非常遗憾。我们的心与他的家人和朋友同在。
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
“在表达哀悼后，我们要求刚刚加入我们董事会担任非执行董事的莉亚·帕特森（Lea Paterson）审查我们如何与安德里兹先生互动，以便为未来吸取教训。"
"Since expressing our condolences, we'd asked Lea Paterson, who has just joined our board as a non-executive director, to review how we interacted with Mr Andriesz to learn any lessons for the future."
