Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie | In the early 1990s, Jordan Belfort partnered with partner Donny Azoff and founded the brokerage Stratton Oakmont. His company has grown rapidly from a workforce of 20 to more than 250, and his status in the business community and on Wall Street is growing exponentially. So much so that the company presented an initial public offering through them. As their status increases, so does the amount of substance they abuse and their lies. They attract attention like no other, throwing lavish parties for their employees when they hit the jackpot on high trades. This ended up leading Belfort to appear on the cover of Forbes magazine, entitled “The Wolf of Wall St.” With the FBI in the Belfort business scheme, he found new ways to cover his tracks and watch his fortune grow. Belfort finally came up with a plan to deposit the money in a European bank. But with the FBI looking at him like an eagle, how long could Belfort and Azoff maintain their wealth and luxurious lifestyle?
