Behind the Scenes with the Real Wolf of Wall Street

from Noah Kagan Presents · host Noah Kagan

This is the crazy story of how Jordan Belfort started a company in Long Island selling penny stocks to anybody who would buy them. By the age of 26, he grew the firm into a $3 Billion company and had over 1000 brokers working for him. He lived a crazy lifestyle of money, hookers, and quaaludes. And… he ended up being tried for securities fraud and he lost everything. He went to jail for 2 years, lost all his money, and his wife left him. And he had to come back and start from scratch. And now he's back! Full show notes at https://okdork.com/podcast/160
