BGC Partners

How did you find Circle, end up at Circle, to start? Where

I found Circle was at the time I was working for BGC Partners, the brokerage.

in foreign exchange and high-frequency trading.

And we had more and more clients coming to us asking about stable coins, crypto in general.

So when I was on Wall Street, I was a partner and member of the board of Dylan Reed.

And literally, so for example, the chairman of our firm would come in on the January strategic meeting and say, let me tell you what's going to happen this year.

And then he would describe what's going to happen that

year.

And we had all these, every floor had a balcony that looked over the park.

It was like these big old New Orleans brownstones.

Anyway, so I just happened to be confirmed on the same day that the FIREA legislation to pass the, the cleanup for the SNL scandal passed.

And so I'm over there and a friend of mine was suddenly appointed to go into the SEC, Richard Breeden.

Anyway, that Howard Lutnick.

So Lutnick, this guy says, on the whistleblower reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Epstein and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2021.

Listen to the BBC file on documentary for documentary.

A BBC file on four is the name of it.

I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors.

My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including 96 million pounds.

HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC's partnership scheme.

I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher.

Yeah.

Well, here's what's alarming, is his last post on Sunday, October 4th, on Twitter, X, said, he outed himself, he says, I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein and Cantor Fitzgerald, and BGC to the FBI in 2020 to 2021.

The personal consequences of whistleblowing and the retaliation I say followed have been devastating for my family and me.

Blah, blah, blah.

And we ended up selling to what is now Newmark.

At the time, it was known as BGC and BGC Partners.

And BGC Partners owned Newmark and we got rolled into that entity and then rolled off, spun out as a company.

as a independent company, a listed company in 2017.

And so that was a wonderful run.

The CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick, was Jeffrey Epstein's neighbor, and he believes some of the suspicious financial activities could be related to Epstein's case.

Redacted says that BCG, BGC, I'm sorry, which I guess they had redacted up above and they didn't redact this one, which shows you how careless this is, says that BGC does a huge amount of charity work relating to 9-11 because Cantor Fitzgerald lost many employees that day.

But he thinks the charity day is fraudulent.

Redacted has documentation he is willing to provide to the FBI to back these claims.

Like...

We'll give Howard Lutnick this.

Cantor Fitzgerald, BGC, these are powerhouse places on Wall Street.

Like that is a competent person you are putting in a job like that.

He brought information to the FBI and later to Congress involving several companies and their connection to Epstein and Epstein Island.

I think companies like BGC, Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick.

Howard Lutnick is one of the most powerful officials in the Trump administration.

So this was not somebody that was making claims online without evidence.

So we have this British banker, [lips smack] uh, Simon Adrijnis, who was in Thailand.

Uh, he used to work for Howard Lutnick, okay? He used to work for one of his, his, uh, subsidiaries called BGC Group.

And he blew the whistle on Howard Lutnick saying, "Hey, um, this looks like a Ponzi scheme." And there's some nefarious things going on with him and Epstein, and they got some weird financial relationship going on.

So he blows the whistle, and then he gets fired.
