I just watched "The Wolf of Wallstreet". I found it entertaining. In my view the FBI and the supposed other legal forces that are supposed to stop criminal activity are proven practically toothless in the film. Jordon Belfort had to have an awful lot of bad luck (Swiss bankers getting arrested, untimely Hurricanes etc), and consume a huge amount of cocaine and other drugs plus screw a lot of hookers before he was slowed down enough to get caught. and how much jail time did he get? How many $$millions did he burn though? Does he still have money to spend?? If I see a free copy of his book I'll probably read it, I need the tips -g- Looks like the only way to get ahead these days ... steal some OPM. Just joking, besides I don't think I can handle the amount of cocaine and hookers needed to impress market participants sufficiently. en.wikipedia.org Steven Perlberg of Business Insider saw an advanced screening of the film at a Regal Cinemas near the Goldman Sachs building, with an audience of financial workers. Perlberg reported cheers from the audience at all the wrong moments—"When Belfort — a drug addict attempting to remain sober — rips up a couch cushion to get to his secret coke stash, there were cheers."
