Sam Argirou I can see the YOLO argument, but you seem to be uninformed as to what he went to prison for. He plead guilty to securities fraud and money laundering (same as Bernie Madoff, for which he is serving the rest of his life in prison, 150 years anyway). The only reason he wasn't sentenced more than 2 years is the scale of the fraud, basically because he hasn't made as much money as Madoff did. But Hollywood tends to portray these scumbags in a positive light, because it's more fun to watch.
Guy made everything of himself and then lost it all, went to jail, and did it all over again minus the drugs and craziness. Guy made the most of an American Dream. In this world your skills are what get you places and this man put his skills to use.
I don't think you actually understood the movie mate. it initially glamorises the lifestyle but eventually depicts the inherently morally/ethically corrupt nature of such. i loved it, it's a fantastic portrait of how our societies know the price of all and the value of nothing.
+Andrzej Strzelecki You need Captagon pills, if you can't find them dig them out, they'll turn you into a beast with unimaginable talking skills and you'll never get bored or tired, it's the secret the %1 hiding. I know cuz I'm one of them.
IncorporatedOps Debt does not mean he is broke. His net worth is estimated to be over 10 million + he can keep 50 cents from every dollar he makes on his seminars, book sales, sales training etc.
His life in the movie is glamorized and at certain points you really WANT to live his life. But what I love about Scorsese is that he shows it in a way where it's introduced as if he's saying "that's what you want, alright buddy, just try keeping up." Then as soon as a character reaches the pinnacle, there's that downfall which brings us back to reality.
Euan Hamilton I think it's just as evil to boil a lobster alive, but it's totally acceptablet in our world. So much hypocrisy. And as I understand it, some employees had "pets" in the office, but it was not because they loved the animals, it was more of an office thing. It was after all an environment of drugs and alcohol, not the ideal place to have a pet you love..
There's a very simple explanation for that, if you owned a cow and sold it to a slaughter house people wouldn't care that much, if you had a cow as a pet and some psycho killed it then ate it people would sympathize with you as the owner. Most people don't put a value on animal life unless we're emotionally convinced it has a relationship with us.
Think It's a side effect of the "parenting genes" we have, the same stuff that makes many of us instinctively want to take care of our offspring also make us love kittens, dolls or fishes in some cases. I really don't give a crap about the fish though, but I do feel sorry for the poor guy who valued it so dearly and had it taken away from him.
Put aside Jordan Belfort, what about Piers Morgan? What an absolute obnoxious, self absorbed worthless interviewer. It's a blessing he was fired, and back to England he will go -
Honestly, this man is a legend. He is not normal by any standards. His manipulating skills and public speaking talent is matched by none, and when you have a skillset like that, the sky is the limit. Jordan Belfort took opportunity as soon as he saw it, because in his mind, he was rich already. He knew that he would be rich, it was just a matter of how fast he would get there and how much he would accumulate. A man like this is one in a million, and a man with the ambition level of his own is one in a billion. Shame to any who doubt him or call him out for his illegal acts, for they do not understand what he went through to get where his now.
***** Getting butt raped 3 times a day for a few years might be worth his money. But there's people richer than him that didn't get butt raped that I'm more jealous of.
He's so full of shit. The whole point of the movie is that he gets off easy. "I was truly scared when I went to prison, but I had forgotten something. I was rich." There is NO sense of his life falling apart. Even with Naomi he doesn't really love her, he loves her sex and the ownership he has over his kids and his possessions, and he hardly gets what he deserves there either. The movie is morally bankrupt, it's meant to be. There is no catharsis, because it's real life, and this is the world we live in.
I agree it doesn't glorify his actions, but there is definitely no sense of justice at the end. The film is a documentary of the craziest excesses of the system we live in, is the point I took from it. Which is why I can't take the guy seriously when he makes an interview like this.
short steve You see you guys are forgetting something. Money. When you have a enough money to do whatever the fuck you want, the lines of morality are blurred and you start to not give a fuck, and instead start to enjoy life
+Carl Taylor Intentionally lying and cheating people out of their money, ruining other people's lives, contracting STD's, addicted to drugs, being suicidal when sober because you realize what you've done, then taking more drugs to feel numb, going to jail because you're a criminal--not at all sure how people consider this to be "fun". Ohhhhh, but he partied, had lots of sex and got rich.
Hannah Maddela All true but how many 25 year olds do you know that make $1 million a week. Even if its by deceptive means. He married a model, sank a yachts and took so much drugs it would kill your average person.
munib1000 I'm one of those people that doesn't give a crap how much money he made at what age. No amount of money could tempt me into that world because I take pride in having dignity. He did it all by being a dishonest business man and intentionally ruining the lives of other people. I'm not impressed with anything this man did and it's shocking how many people glorify him. Oh and he beat his wife.
Hannah Maddela I'm no way defending him or his business partners or employees but he didn't take people's money by robbing them. Its not his fault that people are gullible. He down fall was mostly drug related. But he is still a scam bag through and though. Its just interesting to read about his live becuase he lived sp crazy. dan bilzerian got nothing on him.
A lot of people miss the message of this movie. The beginning shows degrees of glamorization of this lifestyle, but any critical thinker could see the tremendous backfire. Let's also remember that 1 person gets a movie made out of this, and every other person that tries this is just a copycat. There are 1 million people that try this drug and greed lifestyle, and it ends a much more extremely negative way. Let's not forget those people.
@@deerheart87 you mock him but most of the comments in any wolf of wall street TH-cam video are people just wishing they're were like Jordan an awful corrupted criminal and they praise Jordan like some sort of hero or god bc greed and selfishness and drugs is good bc he was successful at it, even in the end regardless of his victims. The comment below this literally says "you really WANT to live his life". Yep its pretty clear people got wrong idea from the movie
You call it hustle but he was nothing more than a lowlife thief who figured it was easier to make it illegally than do it honest like most of everybody else
I just finished the movie. I am going to become a stock broker now and live the life he did. I guess I have a screw loose and only lots of cash, drugs, and women can screw it back in!
Brokers are the bottom of the barrel, the people who make the real cash are at the other end of the phone. Just make yourself enough money to get into real estate & property development and then you're set.
So this guy scams people for millions, yet has a freaking movie made about him starring heavyweight names. He even met Di Caprio in person. What does that tell us? As long as you're interesting enough, people won't give a shit if you've done bad things.
no shit, we glorify serial killers in western civilization too, just cause they're fascinating, regardless of their victims. Sick humans, no existing humanity
It is really annoying to see these people speak as if nothing happen, while so many people lost their retirement money due to his illegal actions. Something is fundamentally wrong with our society. This person stole $200M or so. He should go to jail for 22 years not 22 months. I mean give me $200M, and by all means i would go to jail for 22 months.
This guy is a normal guy who got blinded by money and stuff and got a slap (although some would argue not strong enough) and he turned back to realization of his actions it seems.
At least he isn't as bad of the other fucks on Wall Street. Where this guy has a decent sense to realize that what he didn't wasn't the most ethical, most of them would believe the world owes them a favor for the downfall or commit suicide. Jordan Belfort's downfall is that he began stealing from the greedy fucking rich... when it was the poor, it wasn't that much of a big deal.
No he is not... He is a sociopath. If you seriously think he is a normal guy, you will probably sucked into a piramide scheme(or something else) by such a guy. Not to be a dick to you, but not be naïef man. These guys are the devil
I read the book. His story is alot more darker and depressing, especially by the end. He tried to kill himself, felt so bad about himself which would cause him to take enormous amounts of drugs to keep going etc.
I'm a strong believer in balance. Yes I can be greedy, a womanizer, etc.. But also I really love/care for my family and I love motivating/inspiring people. Some weeks I feel like the devil, others an angel. Hard to be the "good guy" in today's world.
People hating this man ? For what ? There are thousands like him out there . He aint sorry for shit .. He just lost it all and wanna make a new way around this . Wtf
You people are quick to chat shit about this man because of how he lived his life but how about all the rappers that are criminals that the youth listen to and get inspired. Listening to them disgusting lyrics and brain washing them with negativity. At least this man stands for something positive now.
Diamond Johnson yes, including the governments. People say the world is messed up, its not the world its the people- The people in this world are crazy and don't know it.
Is he the nicest guy in the world nope, but if the things that's being portrayed in the movie is pretty accurate then I'd say the people who tanked the economy who now have more then they could spend in five lifetimes are the real criminals. Sure the movie doesn't really explore what happened to the people who invested with them so I can't really say anything about that one way or the other, but it also kinda seemed that people who struggled got a chance to work there and did pretty good for themselves while it lasted. Ok again I'm not saying he is the nicest guy in the world, but after what's been going on in the last 20 years it was hard not see the movie from that perspective and not just see a hustler who dealt with dollars instead of pennies.
I prefer Jordan Belfort to people like Tony Robins. Jordan tells it as it is, has made all the mistakes, all the money, rose dramatically, fell dramatically, he's done it all and clearly has a natural ability to make shit loads of money, make friends and influence people. He knows what he's talking about
Belfort is awesome but jeez Morgan is hard to watch. Can the man stop asking lightning round questions and just have a normal conversation? What a terrible interviewer
Make $500 million doing it, start a company that employees over 1000 people of which 80% become millionaires, and do half the things he did and I bet you will!
People who don't understand psychology and the use of imagery and various other components that can be demonstrated in an array of psychological discoveries and who think that the imagery itself would serve as a warning or something that serves as a bad example, are mistaken. That does not mean that people won't see films that serve as warnings and take it that way. But, it ALSO inspires mimickry in some.
As much as I thought McConeghey, or however the fuck you spell his name deserved the win, other than Daniel Day, Leo is the best actor in the world...Certainly the actor of HIS generation.
You're wrong. Maybe it was a bad decision to buy, but Jordan actively and illegally prevented them from selling those stocks when their value came crashing down. That's not their fault, that's Jordan being a scumbag.
Know your investment before you purchase. SEC Regulation has public companies publish their annual reports for future investors to research. And don't tell me it's not fair for someone to have to read an income statement, if you're gonna buy a portion of a company you should know how to read their income statement (it's pretty self explanatory)
Keller Coleman Jordan also explained in the book and the movie that he manipulated stocks with ratholes and other methods so he (and the strattonites) would be making money.
@nathaneal graham I'm not disagreeing that what Belfort did was wrong. Pump and dump of stocks to maximize profits should not be allowed whatsoever; keep in mind that he did this in the 80's tho... Things have changed drastically because of people like him, and I feel like this movie reinforces the notion that all in Wall Street are corrupt and know something the general public doesn't. The fact of the matter is that there is more regulation in Wall Street than ever before. Just because there are "losers" doesn't mean we should kill the market... People who invest in a company should (and hopefully are) aware that there is a very real chance that there investment could lose them money
your totally right. Its not all Jordan's fault people need investigate, study a stock, and not jus trust a broker over the phone. people need to be smart with there own money
I found not much but this: At the back of the room, a beastly pink-sheet hooker with orange hair and the face of a bulldog was sitting on a bar stool, stark naked and covered in tattoos. Her legs were spread wide open, and a line of twenty naked Strattonites were waiting to bang her
Chuck Norris Right, Chuck: That is all the book states. But, come on -- hookers wouldn't be disgusted by some dog-faced punker forming a waiting line "Airplane"-movie-style, right? Now, Belfort DID write: "In that very instant I became disgusted with everything my life stood for. It was a new Stratton low." So, it seems something EVEN worse happened. (Yeah... now I'd like to know too!) Thanks for the fact-check, Chuck Norris! "Ha-YAH!"
that movie is like a fractal across the whole gamut of capitalist endeavors, criticize him if you want, but he's only a guy who got caught. everybody, even the feds, are trying to get over in some way. i love jordan belfort, awesome guy, and i view him kind of like family, since i worked at a direct offshoot of stratton oakmont in the 1990s.
I agree with you... but what he did was fucked up... and he deserved what he got... I do believe however that with the Lehman Brother issue they should've gotten jail time as well
wow. anyone else wanna know what he did at his bachelor party that was the most disgusting thing he and everyone he knew had ever seen? i have to say im interested.
If your still curious it was one hooker had a line of guys lining up to have s*x with her one after another without cleaning up and drinking alcohol out of her v****a (last part might be remembered wrongly) He mentions this in the Logan Paul podcast for reference.
This is an amazing movie. This is the best thing that has come out since GoodFellas. I love how real the mobie is and how it portrays realitu. It was in my opinion the funiest fuckin movie I have seen in a long time.
Hate on him if you want. Your all boring, his life would've been insanely awesome. Office sex, smoking, drinking and drugs that make you feel invincible. You can tell he was reminiscing about his previous life and didn't regret a thing, well maybe his bachelor party lol
+Jamflee Yeah, but If I or any of my family members got financially destroyed by someone like him, it wouldn't matter how likable he was. I'd pull the guy apart by his fucking skin.
Chio Chan Genocide exactly jamflee is an ignorant IDIOT that obviusly can not see the overall picture here. wall street is full of bad people who do not give a shit about people's life they are rich enough to buy pharmatheutical companies to raise medicine's price yo make them richiest but didnt give a shit if your mother / father can't afford their medical treatment or In jordan case taking advantage of old people's savings et cetera meannwhile he was living the life with the customers money
Jordan Belfort is a piece of shit but at he basically started from the bottom of the food chain and created his own empire by himself with his own talents.. What I'm trying to say is Jordan Belfort has talent and Dan bilzerian is just a spoiled bitch raised already a millionaire by his family, he has nothing to offer to the world with any talent. He's the male Paris Hilton and kardashian
insanity is just one factor in being human. No such thing as crazy ,depressed and so on. It all human emotions that you WILSON have one time or another. Flex ya mind kids and just be yourself

He plead guilty to securities fraud and money laundering (same as Bernie Madoff, for which he is serving the rest of his life in prison, 150 years anyway). The only reason he wasn't sentenced more than 2 years is the scale of the fraud, basically because he hasn't made as much money as Madoff did. But Hollywood tends to portray these scumbags in a positive light, because it's more fun to watch.

No he is not... He is a sociopath. If you seriously think he is a normal guy, you will probably sucked into a piramide scheme(or something else) by such a guy. Not to be a dick to you, but not be naïef man. These guys are the devil
lol this dude rocks!!i think he aint regreting all the things he did
thats awesome to you?
he hasn't aged a day either! and considering the kilos of cocain and acohol consumption, that's incredible XD
*****
lol totally, he fucked all the biches he wanted,he had everything a man could have,plus his daughter is fucking hot look her up on facebook
hahaha whats her name?
*****

Anyone who’s watched the impaulsive episode, you know why he can’t tell is story on TV
Loool that shit was nasty
I don't think many people left the movie theaters thinking "Oh wow I sure as hell don't want to live like that"
I'm not a big Scorsese fan, but this movie is mostly a 3 hour comedy. It's a very funny movie, even though it's about unappealing characters.
We call it a black comedy.
???? im sorry ..... Your not a scorsese fan?? ... I don't even want to know what your a fan of then... jesuss
@@timdyton7752 absolutely
what does that mean, not being a big scorsese fan? I’m confused.
@@watchedbyadrien The last name of the very famous director of the movie.
He mostly makes gritty gangster movies.
"... so it was pretty raunchy"
Piers: "Okay"
I read the book. His story is alot more darker and depressing, especially by the end. He tried to kill himself, felt so bad about himself which would cause him to take enormous amounts of drugs to keep going etc.
Bad guys win. Love it.
I guess so, but one question: is being the bad guy worth it?
Maurice Wilson is being the good guy who pleases everyone worth it?
Good Question: Honestly yes & no
I'm a strong believer in balance. Yes I can be greedy, a womanizer, etc.. But also I really love/care for my family and I love motivating/inspiring people. Some weeks I feel like the devil, others an angel. Hard to be the "good guy" in today's world.

You fucking nailed it
why are people hating on Piers Morgan? he is just exited and want to ask a lot of questions that's all.
my respect, Jordan Belfort. legend!
when i grow up i wanna snort tons of coke like him

And the hookers?
Believe in thy self, my son!
FIEND name checks out
Keep Growing
He's gonna have some of the best stories to tell his grandchildren
Mr Jordan Belfort, I salute you. Your dreams define you
22 months in jail for living the dream, come on, id do 20yrs for it... ;) Sign me up.
FX Hacker 91 you’re a fool
@@poopstain5216 no ur the fool

Quite a pathetic dream.
@@erigor11 lol what's a pathetic dream. Living your prime like an celebrity?
The way he looks with his eyes is so weird
Keller Vid’s thats the result of all the drugs
@@clvnclmnt explain...
People hating this man ? For what ?
There are thousands like him out there . He aint sorry for shit .. He just lost it all and wanna make a new way around this . Wtf
He's actually one of the worst of the worst
You people are quick to chat shit about this man because of how he lived his life but how about all the rappers that are criminals that the youth listen to and get inspired. Listening to them disgusting lyrics and brain washing them with negativity. At least this man stands for something positive now.
Very true. People get millions off bullshit.
Diamond Johnson yes, including the governments. People say the world is messed up, its not the world its the people- The people in this world are crazy and don't know it.
Diamond Johnson Random but Nice hair btw
Lol exactly and thank u
that doesnt mean hes a good guy. just less bad
Is he the nicest guy in the world nope, but if the things that's being portrayed in the movie is pretty accurate then I'd say the people who tanked the economy who now have more then they could spend in five lifetimes are the real criminals. Sure the movie doesn't really explore what happened to the people who invested with them so I can't really say anything about that one way or the other, but it also kinda seemed that people who struggled got a chance to work there and did pretty good for themselves while it lasted. Ok again I'm not saying he is the nicest guy in the world, but after what's been going on in the last 20 years it was hard not see the movie from that perspective and not just see a hustler who dealt with dollars instead of pennies.
I actually have respect
Because he exploited a broken system admitted to it and did his time
LOL it was not his decision to do his time, he was required and physically forced by law and law enforcement.
8:08 This man speaks truth. Listen to what he says.
Ugh, look at the fucking smirk on this guy. Jordan Belfort too.
He's epic
I prefer Jordan Belfort to people like Tony Robins. Jordan tells it as it is, has made all the mistakes, all the money, rose dramatically, fell dramatically, he's done it all and clearly has a natural ability to make shit loads of money, make friends and influence people. He knows what he's talking about
This guy looks way too relaxed and happy for someone who is supposedly in huge fucking debt.
He is not in debt
joe billage yes he is. he owes millions.
Incorrect
joe billage nuh uh. he said it himself in another interview. google if you have too.
Snail princess. Stfu, no one likes you. Your BF? He's only with you cause he feels pity on you. Now please shut the hell up
Crimes aside, Jordan is a pretty fucking charismatic guy.
Belfort is awesome but jeez Morgan is hard to watch. Can the man stop asking lightning round questions and just have a normal conversation? What a terrible interviewer
You can regret the things you’ve done, but you still are proud of it
WAIT?!?!?? SO WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BACHELOR PARTY?!?!?
My guess it had something to do with bodily functions of some sort.
ohhhhhhhhh
Marcus Parks probbs involved piss
hes was on too much ludes and coke
I bet it was 2 girls 1 cup...
Brandon Wondin You might be right.
Pierce has to be the most hated human being on earth, seriously.
Great movie loved it. Should have won an oscar
This guy is fucking awesome! He obviously doesn't feel bad at all about what he did.
When we Nigerians scam people with emails we don't get praised, this guy stole millions and he's a hero on CNN
Lmfao does email scamming still work..
Because you suck at your job
Obi stfu and keep wishing you were in America with the ability to live the dream.
Make $500 million doing it, start a company that employees over 1000 people of which 80% become millionaires, and do half the things he did and I bet you will!
if you can scam millions from emails theyll for sure make a movie about you
People who don't understand psychology and the use of imagery and various other components that can be demonstrated in an array of psychological discoveries and who think that the imagery itself would serve as a warning or something that serves as a bad example, are mistaken. That does not mean that people won't see films that serve as warnings and take it that way. But, it ALSO inspires mimickry in some.
As much as I thought McConeghey, or however the fuck you spell his name deserved the win, other than Daniel Day, Leo is the best actor in the world...Certainly the actor of HIS generation.
I can listen to this guy all day
haha anyone have any idea what Jordan is talking about with the disgusting thing at the end there?
I need to know as well, OP please!!!!
Bump I want to know
he revealed it, pretty fucked up
@@Jordan-vr7ip PLS SHARE
@@Jordan-vr7ip wait is it this one? th-cam.com/video/KtJBetr6PdM/w-d-xo.html
Although im sure he has changed, when he talks about it you can see in his eyes that his slightly misses it.
He started from nothing and stole everything, good example to set.
The movie was not a cautionary tale, movies rarely change anything, they're just entertainment...and this movie is pure entertainment
lets face it. everyone would like to live like this. if he didnt get caught. still be doin it.
Really disappointed that Dicaprio would praise Jordan Belfort the way he did. He should go meet the victims, and then make that speech...
Anyone know what the depraved thing was he talked about?
A guy took a poop on a hooker's face.
Mmmm, nice. How'd you know? You weren't there were you?! Lol.....thanks for the info anyways :o)
@@davids736 Thats not what happened lol, he just revealed it, it was pretty fucked up
@@Jordan-vr7ip what it was?
What happened at his bachelor party? I am curious now, is it mentioned anywhere?
People who got screwed over shouldn't have bought those crappy penny stocks. Am I right or am I wrong.?
You're wrong. Maybe it was a bad decision to buy, but Jordan actively and illegally prevented them from selling those stocks when their value came crashing down. That's not their fault, that's Jordan being a scumbag.
Know your investment before you purchase. SEC Regulation has public companies publish their annual reports for future investors to research. And don't tell me it's not fair for someone to have to read an income statement, if you're gonna buy a portion of a company you should know how to read their income statement (it's pretty self explanatory)
Keller Coleman Jordan also explained in the book and the movie that he manipulated stocks with ratholes and other methods so he (and the strattonites) would be making money.
@nathaneal graham I'm not disagreeing that what Belfort did was wrong. Pump and dump of stocks to maximize profits should not be allowed whatsoever; keep in mind that he did this in the 80's tho... Things have changed drastically because of people like him, and I feel like this movie reinforces the notion that all in Wall Street are corrupt and know something the general public doesn't. The fact of the matter is that there is more regulation in Wall Street than ever before. Just because there are "losers" doesn't mean we should kill the market... People who invest in a company should (and hopefully are) aware that there is a very real chance that there investment could lose them money
your totally right. Its not all Jordan's fault people need investigate, study a stock, and not jus trust a broker over the phone. people need to be smart with there own money
Not once did Piers let him finish his sentence. Horrible manners. Horrible.
I like Jeremy Clarkson as is and I’m so glad he poured a glass of water on him when they were aboard the Concorde.
And yeah, he also punched him 3 times on the head less than 12 months later. Props to him 👏🏻
I wanna know what went on at that infamous bachelor party.
Leo nailed Jordan's accent.
Where can I find the story he left out at the end?
read the book
I found not much but this:
At the back of the room, a beastly pink-sheet hooker with orange hair and the face of a bulldog was sitting on a bar stool, stark naked and covered in tattoos. Her legs were spread wide open, and a line of twenty naked Strattonites were waiting to bang her
Chuck Norris
Right, Chuck:
That is all the book states. But, come on -- hookers wouldn't be disgusted by some dog-faced punker forming a waiting line "Airplane"-movie-style, right?
Now, Belfort DID write: "In that very instant I became disgusted with everything my life stood for. It was a new Stratton low."
So, it seems something EVEN worse happened. (Yeah... now I'd like to know too!)
Thanks for the fact-check, Chuck Norris! "Ha-YAH!"
I don't appreciate the way the interviewer treated the gentleman
that movie is like a fractal across the whole gamut of capitalist endeavors, criticize him if you want, but he's only a guy who got caught. everybody, even the feds, are trying to get over in some way. i love jordan belfort, awesome guy, and i view him kind of like family, since i worked at a direct offshoot of stratton oakmont in the 1990s.
I agree with you... but what he did was fucked up... and he deserved what he got... I do believe however that with the Lehman Brother issue they should've gotten jail time as well
even he says so, it doesn't look like he's regreting
wow. anyone else wanna know what he did at his bachelor party that was the most disgusting thing he and everyone he knew had ever seen? i have to say im interested.
Yeah me too, I really wanna find out what it was
Most likely a re act of 2 girls 1 cup
i think this? th-cam.com/video/KtJBetr6PdM/w-d-xo.html
@Jenny Woodhead is this the one? th-cam.com/video/KtJBetr6PdM/w-d-xo.html
If your still curious it was one hooker had a line of guys lining up to have s*x with her one after another without cleaning up and drinking alcohol out of her v****a (last part might be remembered wrongly) He mentions this in the Logan Paul podcast for reference.
when is part two coming out??
This is an amazing movie. This is the best thing that has come out since GoodFellas. I love how real the mobie is and how it portrays realitu. It was in my opinion the funiest fuckin movie I have seen in a long time.
sorry for the misspellings. I was typing this on my phone and no control on the keys.
it is a great movie, fasten your seat belt because its a ride into insanity!
I just wanna know what happened at the bachelores party Jordan mentioned at the end.
commenting so i get updated
wait i think this th-cam.com/video/KtJBetr6PdM/w-d-xo.html
Hate on him if you want. Your all boring, his life would've been insanely awesome. Office sex, smoking, drinking and drugs that make you feel invincible. You can tell he was reminiscing about his previous life and didn't regret a thing, well maybe his bachelor party lol
you're*
+Jamflee Yeah, but If I or any of my family members got financially destroyed by someone like him, it wouldn't matter how likable he was. I'd pull the guy apart by his fucking skin.
+Jeremy Elliott Then you'd deserve that by trusting someone you've never met over the phone
Chio Chan Genocide exactly jamflee is an ignorant IDIOT that obviusly can not see the overall picture here. wall street is full of bad people who do not give a shit about people's life they are rich enough to buy pharmatheutical companies to raise medicine's price yo make them richiest but didnt give a shit if your mother / father can't afford their medical treatment or In jordan case taking advantage of old people's savings et cetera meannwhile he was living the life with the customers money
What on earth could 50 prostitutes have all agreed on being the most raunchy thing they've ever seen?
my estimation is that Dan bilzerian will be in a similar position to Jordan soon
that womanizing dirt bag?
Jordan Belfort is a piece of shit but at he basically started from the bottom of the food chain and created his own empire by himself with his own talents.. What I'm trying to say is Jordan Belfort has talent and Dan bilzerian is just a spoiled bitch raised already a millionaire by his family, he has nothing to offer to the world with any talent. He's the male Paris Hilton and kardashian
“You don’t lose your soul in one time you lose it incrementally” damn that’s some slept on profound shit
The most honest man,
I've ever seem.
he's not ashamed of what he did.
shit happened. he paid for it,
he changed.
He loved his old life I would be proud of that
anyone know where i can find the whole bachelor party story?!
any luck?! i wanna know to haha
Yeah, still wondering
Still wondering.
2 girls 1 cup documentary
Some guy shit in a hookers mouth
insanity is just one factor
in being human. No such thing as crazy ,depressed and so on. It all human emotions that you WILSON have one time or another. Flex ya mind kids and just be yourself
wilson=WILL
7:33 I've done more for waaay less, someone get me in touch with the old version of him
Stop interrupting him Piers Morgan!
