In recent years he successfully accomplished two of the largest bankruptcy liquidations conducted in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Mr. Gold served as chapter 7 trustee in the publicly held Computer Learning Centers Inc. case, successfully liquidating 25 schools in 10 states and raising $30 million-largely from intangible assets-to benefit more than 9,000 mostly consumer and employee creditors. Computer Learning Centers was thought by many to be a near worthless enterprise when the case was commenced but diligent effort and sheer determination employed by the Wiley Rein team in the pursuit of value for the creditors resulted in a happy ending for the constituent parties.

Currently Mr. Gold serves as Liquidating Trustee in the Dornier Aviation of North America case. By early 2009 Mr. Gold had already distributed funds to creditors in excess of 100 cents on the dollar with even more distributions expected. The principal component of the successful administration of the case was the winning and collection of a nearly $15,000,000 judgment on behalf of the Liquidating Trust by a team of Wiley Rein attorneys, led by bankruptcy partner Alexander M. Laughlin. [See Dornier Aviation of North America Bankruptcy Trustee Announces Settlement of Litigation with China's Hainan Airlines]
