Something many people might not know about is that Eugene Gold, Mr. District Attorney (he was a Brooklyn DA), who was the guy who created the infamous "gold bug" that recorded the conversations in Vario's junkyard, was actually a convicted child molester.

In 1983 after admitted to his heinous act against a 10 year old girl at a District Attorneys conference in Tennesse, he was put on 2 years probation. Served no time. When he left the courthouse, he said: “I am very very relieved to have this behind me,’ Gold said as he and his wife Ronnie left the Metro Courthouse hand-in-hand. ‘I’ve had a very very bright and wonderful past. I am looking forward to having the same kind of future.’”

He was 59 at the time and charged with aggravated rape.
