Jeffrey Epstein moved more than $250,000 between accounts for Noam Chomsky, who said the money was for a 'pure technicality'

• Noam Chomsky sought financial advice from Jeffrey Epstein in 2018, according to a new report.

• The Wall Street Journal reported that Epstein helped Chomsky move $270,000 between bank accounts.

• When reached for comment, Chomsky said he didn't take a dime from him and it was a "technicality."

Renowned academic and political activist Noam Chomsky sought sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's help with managing financial transactions totaling over a quarter million dollars, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

In late April, the Journal revealed that Chomsky and Epstein met multiple times, even after Epstein pled guilty in 2008 to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution.

New reporting from the outlet highlighted that beyond a group dinner with Woody Allen, Epstein helped Chomsky move large sums of money, which the academic said was for a "technicality" related to distributing funds from a previous marriage.

Chomsky confirmed to the outlet that in March 2018, he received $270,000 from a bank account associated with Epstein, but said it was only to reorganize his own funds, and "did not involve one penny from Epstein."
