From: Noam Chomsky

From: Noam Chomsky To: "jeffrey E." <[email protected]> Cc: Valeria Chomsky Subject: Fwd: Petition with the Court Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2018 04:53:13 +0000 Attachments: General_Trust_Petition_with_Exhibits.pdf I have just read the attachment in full. The crucial part is Exhibit B. Starting with section 9 it is full of lies, formulated as an implicit, and vicious and ugly, attack on Valeria. As Harry knows full well, the sharp escalation of expenses was because half of the mandatory withdrawals from my IRA were being distributed to family and the other half was being taken for taxes and management fees for the entire estate. That meant that to pay Alex's medical expenses, and $50,000 for rent and upkeep of the house in Wellfleet that we gave to him and his sisters, I had to make extra withdrawals with a huge tax penalty. The same for withdrawal for living expenses. That of course required further over the limit withdrawals, with a tax burden, until we finally got rid of it all in 2017. The rest of the appendix is also full of distortions and deceit. I have written to Avi and Diane asking whether they have seen this, and whether they agree with it. Question is: what is the next step? Separately, I will write to Max with the modifications you suggested. Noam Forwarded message From: Harry Chomsky Date: Tue, Jun 5, 2018 at 10:08 AM Subject: Petition with the Court To: Noam Chomsky Today I filed a petition with the Court in Massachusetts to ask for assistance in appointing a new independent trustee to replace Max. You will receive a formal notification of the filing, as required by the Court. In the meantime, I have attached a copy of the petition for you to review. As you can see, I do not believe that the trust provides me with clear direction as to how to appoint a new trustee; I am hoping the Court can do so. Jillian remains open to discussing this or any other concerns about the trust with your attorney. EFTA01059138
