He has been an integral part of the team representing the trustee of the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) in the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Securities. Oren has overseen and worked with teams of lawyers in the United States and around the world to trace and recover assets; the recovery has been unprecedented, totaling more than $13 billion dollars.
