I am looking forward to having the same kind of future.’” ~ Brooklyn District Attorney Eugene Gold (of the widely publicized “Gold Bug” fame for setting up surveillance of Lucchese capo Paul Vario)) after the disgraced D.A. was released on probation for molesting a 10-year old girl during a Conference for District Attorneys in Tennessee in 1983. Gold was 59 years old at the time and charged with aggravated rape.
