From: Noam Chomsky To: "Jeffrey E." <jeevacation@gmail.com>, Valeria Chomsky < Subject: Fwd: Successor Independent Trustee Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 13:46:59 +0000 Inline-Images: image001.gif I'm inclined to write Max a nasty letter about a lawyer with initials MK and his behavior when I thought he was my lawyer but when in fact he was watching calmly as the IRA, which he understood to be my sole source of support, was being depleted by distributions to family and payment of taxes and management fees for the whole estate, exhausting the mandatory withdrawal, and much more -- and who now claims to be qualified to be a trustee. But I think it may be better to withhold this and send it later, after we've gotten rid of him. Forwarded messa e From: Max Kohlenberg Date: Thu, Dec 28, 2017 at 9:56 AM Subject: RE: Successor Independent Trustee To: Deborah Pechet Quinan , "Ha. Chomsk Cc: "Noam Chomsky , Deborah — writing to acknowledge receipt of your email, below. I understood that you were waiting for me to provide you with a suggested list of qualified professional trustees (in consultation with Harry) and I am preparing a list of trustees to present to you soon. While I take your message as a suggestion that Harry consider attorney Weingarten as a candidate, I see nothing at his firm's web page that indicates that attorney Weingarten (accomplished as he may be as a white collar crime litigator) has the knowledge or necessary experience to serve as trustee of a marital trust established under Massachusetts law. (I would note that a quick perusal of the web indicates that he has represented, among others, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Roman Polanski and the Republic of Kazakhstan. Also that he was on the short list to represent Donald Trump. Very impressive!) Given attorney Weingarten's specialty and client list I'll be interested to hear why he is being proposed as the professional trustee of the Carol S. Chomsky marital trusts. It was great to hear from you last week that Noam has agreed to provide financial information to support his request for further principal distributions from the marital trusts. I do hope that some information will be offered soon, so that I will be in a position to consider such distributions, including those that have already been requested (in addition to the tax payments that were made on his behalf in the last 10 days).
