I saw this the other day and was looking for discussions elsewhere than reddit, but wherever it's mentioned, his death is correlated to his being a whistleblower. Is there any original reporting validating any of that?
I'm unsure exactly which claims you want to see validated, but BBC seems to have the relevant facts:
>Andriesz's family said he had taken his own life on 23 September, and that there was no suggestion of foul play. ...
>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 [Financial Conduct Authority], to whom he had sent evidence of what he regarded as whistleblower retaliation by [his former employer previously run by Lutnick] BGC and its lawyers.
>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."
Thanks. I did later read this BBC article describing his frustration being a whistleblower with the FCA. It's certainly more than just headline clickbait.
Was it a Russian-style suicide? Did he shoot himself on the back five times, then jump from a window?
Or was it a more Western-style suicide, hanging himself at the exact same time all the cameras around him coincidently turned themselves off?
I guess it's time people start keeping a public people with powerful enemies start keeping some kind of "not, I'm not planning on suiciding today" canary of some kind.
