Jordan Belfort was a saleman, and the CEO of of brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont that engaged in "Pump and Dump" schemes. After serving 22 months prison time for fraud in 1999, he is now an author of the 2007 book The Wolf of Wall Street[1], the book details havoc wreaked upon both others and himself as he fell under the influence of his addictions.[2] Under his direction the firm engaged in pump-and-dump stock schemes, where falsely purportedly profitable stocks were sold to investors at inflated prices.
Belfort's story may be adapted into film. Martin Scorsese is possibly looking to direct Leonardo DiCaprio in the film adaptation the The Wolf of Wall Street book for Warner Bros Pictures, with The Sopranos scribe Terence Winter possibly aboard to write.[3]
