That fucker ruined Linguistics too — he was in friendly terms with Noam Chomsky.
Personally I am not aware on how much Chomsky should be blamed for this association; it's possible Epstein was simply using him. But even in the hypothesis Chomsky is innocent, it stinks.
When Chomsky was asked what he corresponded with epstein about years ago, he said essentially "none of your fucking business".
Which is such a bad answer, I am half inclined to believe he just wanted help filing his taxes and a guilty Chomsky would have the sense to lie.
Yup, that sounds like him. He isn't above bullshitting but not bothering to bullshit hints he believed he had nothing to hide.
I guess he's still in the "when in doubt, treat them as innocent" category for me.
