Noam Chomsky told The Wall Street Journal that Epstein spotted him thousands of dollars and provided financial advice for accounts related to his first marriage.

Wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein moved hundreds of thousands of dollars for two academics in the years before his 2019 arrest, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Linguist Noam Chomsky told the Journal that he sought financial “advice” from Epstein, who in 2018 transferred $270,000 to him.

Chomsky claimed the transaction—which was related to the disbursement of funds from his first marriage—“did not involve one penny from Epstein.” He added: “The simplest way seemed to be to transfer funds from one account in my name to another, by way of his office.”

Last month, Chomsky claimed his ties to Epstein were “none of your business” and that “I knew him and we met occasionally.”

    $270 thousand sure is an amount to trust to a guy you "knew and met occasionally"

      I knew things were bad - if not very bad - when I learned Chomsky said "it's none of your business."

      But now I'm starting to wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes.
