Trivia When Jordan Belfort shows up at a gritty Long Island strip mall answering an advertisement for brokers, he enters a store-front with a sign above it touting "Robert Mancuso Accounting." This is an insider's nod to veteran camera assistant Bobby Mancuso , who not only worked on "Wolf" but on two other major releases the same year: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) and Inside Llewyn Davis (2013). See more » Goofs The original Forbes magazine article on Belfort (October 14, 1991) was NOT titled "The Wolf of Wall Street", it was titled: "Steaks, Stocks -- What's the Difference?". In fact, Belfort was never known as "The Wolf of Wall Street" during his career. The article's author, Roula Khalaf, did call him a "twisted Robin Hood who takes money from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers", which he complains about to Teresa.

However, Belfort was actually upset not because he was depicted in a bad light, but because Khalaf had exposed the shenanigans of Stratton Oakmont and its use of the "pump and dump" technique.

Could not subscribe, try again laterInvalid Email Coke snorting and orgies were part of daily life when you worked for depraved financier Jordan Belfort, the Sunday People reports.

Played by Leonardo DiCaprio in a new blockbuster , twisted Belfort ran his crooked stockbroker business like a debauched Roman emperor. Successful employees were ­rewarded with hookers, booze and drugs. Failures were fired. Workers were encouraged to have sex in a glass lift in full view of the office, there were naked marching bands and female staff at parties were expected to dance topless and sleep with the men. But Belfort’s empire, funded by £150million he swindled from investors, came crashing down in the late 90s. He served just 22 months for fraud and money laundering where he wrote two memoirs which are the basis for The Wolf of Wall Street film. The three-hour black comedy, directed by Martin Scorsese, which premiered on Thursday has been called one of Hollywood’s most depraved movies ever. But Belfort claims the fiction doesn’t compete with the real-life drug-addled world of stock-selling firm Stratton Oakmont, which he compared to the Biblical dens of sin Sodom and Gomorrah.

He said: “It wasn’t every firm that sported hookers in the basement, drug dealers in the parking lot, exotic animals in the boardroom and midget-tossing competitions on Fridays.” Even party-loving DiCaprio, 39, described Belfort, now 51, as the biggest hedonist he has ever met. DiCaprio said: “He was like a modern-day emperor Caligula. He held nothing back and was unapologetic about his lust for wealth and mad consumption.” Fraudster: Jordan Belfort with his second wife, Miller Lite model, Nadine (Photo: Jordan Belfort) Belfort, a former door-to-door seafood salesman, lived the high-life with his London-born blonde model wife Nadine Caridi and an army of high-priced hookers. In a single drug-fuelled afternoon Belfort wrote off a yacht and one of his two helicopters. He smashed up his convertible Mercedes with his toddler ­daughter unbuckled in the front passenger seat who, luckily, ­escaped unscathed. He also had to be strapped down in his first-class plane seat after sexually ­assaulting an air stewardess.

And when he ran short of sex-enhancing Quaalude pills while staying in a £9,000-a-night suite at London’s Dorchester Hotel, he told his chauffeur in New York to fly over on Concorde with more. Shortly before his empire crashed he persuaded Nadine’s prim English aunt, a teacher played by Ab Fab’s Joanna Lumley, to let him launder millions of dollars through a Swiss bank using her name. She died before he pulled off that scam. Star salesman Josh Shapiro at the now defunct Stratton Oakmont, recalled how he was rewarded with a £300-an-hour hooker for landing deals and Belfort even employed naked marching bands to “encourage” him during cold calls. Other “perks” included limitless cocaine, ecstasy and Quaaludes. He said: “The girls were the top of the crop, gorgeous former cheerleaders for professional football teams. "One liked to go to all our parties in Atlantic City. They rented a bus for 40 people, and she had oral sex with everybody on the bus. “Drug use was rampant. I took three or four Quaaludes a day.

"You thought you were the funniest person in the world but they made you aggressive on the phone, you lost any inhibitions.” Wolf of Wall Street: Leonardo DiCaprio stars (Photo: BFI) Young female staff at the firm in Long Island, New York, didn’t get the same treatment. Men shouted obscenities at them and at parties they were free game for male colleagues. Belfort described them in his memoir as “rutting away under the clear blue sky like barnyard animals, happy to put on a show.” His treatment of Miller Lite beer model Nadine was no better – he flew 100 staff and 100 hookers to Las Vegas for a stag orgy before their £600,000 Caribbean wedding. He bragged of having sex with her on a $3million mattress made of $100 bills. They had two children but Nadine, now 51, grew sick of his cheating and drugs and left him after he kicked her down the stairs of his 24-bedroom Long Island mansion. By then, financial regulators were closing in on Belfort. He was charged with artificially inflating the price of stock and was jailed in 2003.

He described young staff as having the intelligence of “Forrest Gump on three hits of acid” and how anyone failing to make £150,000 in their first year was fired. Belfort claims half of his cut from the film will go to his victims. He disputes recent court papers that claim he has repaid only $11.6million of the $110million compensation it was ruled he owes to those he cheated. He and second wife Nadine divorced in 2005 and Belfort, now engaged to Anne Koppe, 47, gives ­motivational speeches and teaches “sales ­techniques” to young brokers wishing to “create wealth for the ­greater good.” Nadine has since married businessman John Macaluso, 51. The ultimate hedonist is once again living the high life but this time in a California beach mansion – and he’s hanging out with Hollywood’s elite.

Here is an interview with the notorious stockbroker who ended up in prison Leonardo Di Caprio (right) starring in Wolf of Wall Street as stockbroker Jordan Belfort (left) By Tom Leonard 10:07AM GMT 09 Jan 2014 Leonardo DiCaprio will attend the UK premiere of The Wolf Of Wall Street tonight at the Odeon in London's Leicester Square. The actor plays stockbroker Jordan Belfort in the Martin Scorsese film (which opens on January 17) about his real-life rise and fall in the financial world of Nineties New York. The real Belfort made – and spent – millions of dollars while riding high in the city but ended up in prison after the FBI arrested him for fraud. The book he wrote about his experiences, which inspired the film, was described by DiCaprio as "candid and honest" describing a time "almost like a modern day Caligula". In February 2008, when stockbroker Belfort had published his autobiography The Wolf of Wall Street (Hodder), Tom Leonard met the man to talk about yachts, planes, women, drugs and the Mafia.

Talking about the prospect of being portrayed by Di Caprio, Belfort said: "DiCaprio will just have to get stoned, stumble around like a moron and drool." Interview with Jordan Belfort, first published 25 February 2008: Could there be a more compelling poster child for the dark side of modern capitalism than Jordan Belfort? As a 31-year-old multimillionaire stockbroker, Belfort once landed his helicopter on his back lawn, flying with just one eye open because he was so stoned he had double vision. He sank his 167ft motor yacht, complete with seaplane and helicopter, after overruling the captain and taking it into a Mediterranean storm. Related Articles 17 Jun 2013 He organised a midget-throwing contest to entertain brokers on his trading floor. And when he wasn't completely out of his head on drugs, or getting executive relief from prostitutes in the presidential suites of luxury hotels, the man nicknamed the Wolf of Wall Street was presiding over a firm that swindled investors out of $200 million in a shares fraud that landed him and his chief confederates in prison.

"I was a very smart kid, I was a great salesman and I was driven to make money," he says now. "Those were God-given assets. But I had some God-given detriments, mainly that I was emotionally immature, insecure and I had a predisposition to instant gratification. REVIEW: Robbie Collin gives The Wolf of Wall Street "My role models were Michael Douglas's character, Gordon Gekko, in the movie Wall Street and Richard Gere from Pretty Woman. The best of everything - the presidential hotel suite, the Ferrari, the house on the beach, the gorgeous blonde, the expensive wine, the art auctions, the yacht - the ultimate Wall Street rich guy." And then some. I can't recall Richard Gere's character falling asleep in a pile of cocaine big enough to use as a pillow, or even the venal Mr Gekko co-opting his wife's sweet old aunt to smuggle money out of the US. Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wall Street Belfort managed both. He used his first Wall Street bonus to buy a white Ferrari because he'd seen Don Johnson drive one in Miami Vice and he once racked up a $700,000 hotel bill.

Now 45 and, he insists, a completely reformed and penitent man, Belfort lives in a modest three-bedroom house in Manhattan Beach, a relatively inexpensive part of Los Angeles. Apart from the £9,000 Bulgari gold watch on his wrist and the painting in his bedroom of his old yacht, formerly owned by Coco Chanel, he says he has nothing left from the bad old days. Fifty per cent of everything he earns is going to the investors he defrauded. In five years, he has paid back $14 million of the $110 million he owes. He is divorced from Nadine, a former beer commercial model, but they are friends and live near each other. They both look after their two children and Belfort describes himself as every inch the loving father and dutiful "soccer dad". There are pictures of him with his children dotted around the sparsely furnished house. On the large, empty coffee table where once might have sat an upturned mirror for chopping cocaine, there now lies a DVD of the children's film The Goonies, and a porcelain figurine of Napoleon and Josephine.

2013 INTERVIEW: Katherine Rushton meets Jordan Belfort It was, he tells me, a jokey gift from Nadine. He is 5ft 7in and some have suggested he suffers from a Napoleon complex - though he denies it. Most men in Belfort's position might hesitate to rake up the past but the man who was so determined to make it on Wall Street is now determined to make it as a writer. He has written a bawdy romp about his rise and fall, which predictably has been snatched up by Hollywood. Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and the writer of The Sopranos are all "optioned" to be involved. "DiCaprio will just have to get stoned, stumble around like a moron and drool," says Belfort, laughing. He's not wrong. After wading through all 519 lurid pages of The Wolf of Wall Street, readers may find themselves agreeing with the former executive at LP Rothschild who - in the opening sentence of the book - informs a fresh-faced Belfort that he is "lower than pond scum".

A former meat salesman from Queens with a pronounced gift of the gab, Belfort - whose parents were accountants - was tailor-made to profit from the Wall Street bull market of the 1990s. At Stratton Oakmont, his bucket shop stockbroker firm based not in Manhattan but suburban Lake Success on Long Island, a thousand hungry young brokers - many of them straight out of school - were simply handed a script written by Belfort and told to read it down the phone as they cold-called potential share buyers. Belfort had a motto: "No one hangs up the phone until the customer buys or dies." A lot of customers might ultimately have preferred the latter, as Stratton was running what was known as a "pump and dump" scheme. FILM ROW: Martin Scorsese attacked over Wolf of Wall Street Its brokers would drive up the price of shares and then Belfort and his partners would sell the large chunks they owned, causing the share price to collapse and leaving Stratton's clients with heavy losses. He claims that both his business dealings and his private life came off the rails because he kept pushing the boundaries of what he could get away with.

"It was about becoming numb to what's right and wrong," he says. "The first time I took a cash kickback, I was kind of nervous and it was just five or 10 thousand dollars. Before long I was getting millions of dollars and it seemed like it was OK. 'Everyone on Wall Street does that' was how I rationalised it." In 1991, Forbes magazine described Belfort as a "kind of twisted Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers". In reality, some of the investors were not rich and were ruined. Belfort was earning $50 million a year, once reportedly making $12 million in three minutes. In the ultimate compliment, the Mafia were sending people to Stratton on "work placements" to learn how it was done. The Wolf of Wall Street A pioneer in promoting office bonding activities, Belfort thought it would improve morale if staff were encouraged to have sex with each other whenever they could, even under the desks. There were mid-afternoon "coffee breaks" with a troupe of hookers in the office car park.

One office junior agreed to have her hair shaved off on the trading floor in return for $5,000 for a breast job. And then there were the drugs. Most Strattonites indulged heavily in cocaine. Belfort's favourite tipple was Quaaludes, a recreational drug based on a prescription sedative so powerful it was banned in many countries. On one occasion, Belfort ran out of "ludes" while staying in a £9,000-a-night suite at the Dorchester in London. Waking his secretary in New York at four in the morning, he had an emergency supply sent out on Concorde. Belfort and his wife appeared to spend most of their married life swearing at each other. Whenever she rang him when he was away on business, he invariably had a call girl in the room - and even he sometimes realised that it looked bad. That said, in a characteristically classy moment, he once made love to Nadine on a "mattress" of $3 million in $10,000 stacks of notes.

But after he kicked her downstairs in front of their young daughter and then drove stoned into his garage door with the little girl unbuckled beside him, Nadine packed him off to drug rehab. Then she left him. By then, he had other worries. In 1997, Stratton was kicked out of the National Association of Securities Dealers for defrauding customers and the firm was ordered to be liquidated. Belfort and his cronies loved to boast of being bound by a sort of omertà, the Mafia vow of silence. But the broker boys proved not nearly so tough when the FBI came knocking. Belfort gave evidence against his colleagues and, after admitting charges of money-laundering and securities fraud in 1999, served only 22 months of a four-year sentence in 2004. Curiously, there is very little in the book on his decision to turn against his friends. Belfort says 90 per cent of those involved did the same, adding that he had to reach a deal because he could have got 30 years if it had gone to trial. Prison proved fruitful.

Encouraged by cellmates to write a book about his life, Belfort found inspiration in a prison library copy of Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe's satire about a "Master of the Universe" Wall Street yuppie whose "childish sense of self entitlement" matched his own. Leaving aside the financial crimes, the Belfort saga is above all a cautionary tale of what happens when immature young men become immensely rich. It has echoes of the stories surrounding the behaviour of Premiership footballers in Britain. Except that in finance, the additional problem is the way the money is made, says Belfort. "You make all this money but there's nothing attached to it. You make your money buying and selling the ingenuity of other people." There's an "emptiness" to that sort of money, he says. So the bankers and brokers try to fill the void with material possessions - and when that's not enough, with drugs. Belfort claims heavy drug-taking is "pervasive" on Wall Street. Leonardo DiCaprio "There's a lot of hedge fund managers that love Quaaludes. Once again, it's all about the insane money.

High-powered Wall Street guys don't lose their jobs if they have a drug problem. As long as they're still making money it's considered not the end of the world." Belfort says his drug addiction was to blame for some of his wilder behaviour at home, but he adds: "I wish I could say that about some of the financial fraud. I did that because I was just a frickin' crook. That's harder to rationalise." The book has been billed as an act of atonement. However, if they skip a paragraph in the prologue in which Belfort says he is writing in the "voice playing in his head at the time", readers might think he is still rather pleased with what he did. Critics have wondered whether he doesn't still relish his depravity, but Belfort insists he "despises" the man he once was. So how did he feel as he wrote it? "Sometimes I laughed, sometimes I cried. Sometimes I just shook my head and thought what a ----ing nut I was." He is now writing a satire about the subprime mortgage disaster.

For research, he has been talking to a top contact at Goldman Sachs on how traders "securitised these loans, how they essentially dressed up subprime packages to make them look good enough to buy as credit-worthy". It sounds rather like what went on at Stratton. The subprime crisis is dragging down America's entire economy, but the fact that Belfort was able to become a mortgage broker even after admitting fraud and money-laundering charges speaks volumes about how carefully it was regulated. And he wasn't alone. "Everyone who was being thrown out of the securities industry was becoming one," he says, his voice rising in disbelief. "Anyone could be a mortgage broker. Even me." After the drugs and the madness, a final sobering thought from Mr Wolf. Jordan Belfort: The real Wolf of Wall Street and the men who brought him down | The Independent Features Jordan Belfort: The real Wolf of Wall Street and the men who brought him down Jordan Belfort scammed investors out of $200m.

As Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio bring his outrageous life to the big screen, Nick Harding gets the real inside story Sunday 12 January 2014 00:00 BST Click to follow The Independent Culture Jordan Belfort stands outside his former home Joe Fornabaio The pitch could have been barked by any of the "motivational-training" snake-oil salesmen who ply their wares in the corporate sector. But the man behind this particular "sales and persuasion" one-day course in Australia last year thought himself special enough to demand a US$5,000 entrance fee. The inflated price tag may have been something to do with the quality of the after-dinner anecdotes, as the man hosting the event was Jordan Belfort - a 51-year-old American ex-con who is among the most infamous crooked businessmen in recent history. In the 1990s, Belfort was reputed to have been worth £60m, earning £600,000 a week.

He owned a sprawling estate in the Hamptons, a fleet of supercars and a 167ft yacht which once belonged to Coco Chanel and which he sank in the Mediterranean. He had a supermodel wife and a drug and alcohol habit. He employed an army of young salespeople who aggressively sold stocks in questionable companies to unwitting investors. His workers were rewarded with massive bonuses and parties where prostitutes and dwarf-throwing competitions were provided as entertainment. Today, the disgraced swindler (a term Belfort hates) has reinvented himself as a reputable businessman, with clients such as Delta and Virgin Airlines. Much to his delight, he's also being played by Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's new film, The Wolf of Wall Street, which portrays the lavish, drug-fuelled and illegal antics at Belfort's now-defunct East Coast stocks and shares brokerage Stratton Oakmont. But, says Belfort, he's not letting all that glitz go to his head - he is a new man since his 2004 conviction for defrauding clients of more than $200m. "We are not the mistakes of our past," he recently said.

"We're the resources and capabilities that we glean from our past. It chokes me up a little when I think about it. I was a bad guy. And it wasn't like I started that way. You can get desensitised to your own actions, it's easy on Wall Street... I shouldn't really care what people think of me. I know I'm good. But of course I do care." Former Assistant US Attorney Joel Cohen, who helped put Belfort behind bars, couldn't agree less. "If he is trying to create the impression that he is basically an honest guy who stepped over the line a bit, that is dead wrong. This is a guy who woke up every day, seven days a week for many years, and said, What crimes can I commit today? He was looking to rip people off on a daily basis." The yacht, the cars, the supermodel wife and the fortune have all gone. The father of three now lives in a modest three-bedroom house in a relatively inexpensive LA suburb. At his seminars, attendees are taught a technique he calls "Straight Line" selling; a set of pre-determined steps from first contact to closing a deal.

It is, he has said, roughly the same system he taught his employees to use when pressuring people to buy shares in the useless firms he once promoted. He's paid around $30,000 an hour for his wisdom. He makes a very good living, then - but his income is a fraction of the vast wealth he enjoyed, and a court order requires him to pay 50 per cent of his earnings into a compensation fund for his thousands of victims. Nevertheless, the sale of the film rights to Belfort's two memoirs, The Wolf of Wall Street and Catching the Wolf of Wall Street, are estimated to have earnt him $2m. The film is up for a Golden Globe (Best Comedy) tonight and there is talk of several Oscar nominations when they are announced on Thursday. Over the festive period, American film-goers flocked to see DiCaprio as Belfort marching hookers on to the office floor, receiving the attentions of a young lady at the wheel of his Ferrari and tearing up a sofa to find a stash of cocaine. Predictably, there has been outrage that the film glorifies these exploits.

All of which, one imagines, gave Belfort his best Christmas in years - as he wrote on his blog at the end of last month: "Visit the theater and watch DiCaprio portray me as I was and remember the man I have become." And what has Belfort, whose representatives did not answer our request for comments, become in the seven years since his release? By all accounts a natural raconteur, Belfort delights in recounting stories of drug-fuelled excess, and distances himself from other disgraced businessmen. He describes Bernie Madoff, the US financier convicted in 2009 of defrauding investors of $65bn, as a "complete crook who took people’s money", and defends his own actions by claiming 95 per cent of his business dealings "were totally legit".

Act as if you're a wealthy man, rich already, and then you'll surely become rich" (Pictured: Jordan Belfort, the real Wolf of Wall Street) Michael Loccisano Belfort also gives the impression that he was seduced by the financial environment of the time. The market of the early 1990s made a lot of people a lot of money and, by Belfort's reckoning, his endeavours cost no one more than they could afford. "I don’t like to come off like what I did was not wrong. But I wasn't dealing with poor people. I was dealing with very rich people. No one lost their life savings," he argues. This revisionism, however, is not the account Belfort gave to court when he pleaded guilty to charges of international securities fraud and money-laundering in 1999. Facing 20 to 30 years in jail, he agreed to gather evidence against his friends and colleagues in a year-long undercover operation in exchange for a lighter sentence. It is also not an account that the two key investigators behind his downfall recognise. FBI Special Agent Greg Coleman began investigating Belfort in 1992.

"I have run into individuals who were bad people doing bad things and I've run into ones who were basically good people who made a mistake and will never do it again," says Coleman. "Belfort was really bad. And while there is some attempt on his part to clean up and change, I think he is still a work in progress. There were a lot of victims who could ill afford to lose that kind of money." Joel Cohen concurs. "My sense is that he is only half-repentant, for whatever reason - whether he thinks it sells books and movies better. He says he is sorry to his victims but on the same token he tells the world that only 5 per cent of his behaviour was criminal." Both have mixed feelings about the movie. Says Cohen, "It's not going to be about his prosecution. It will be about his rise and dwarves being thrown out of cannons. I fear it is being marketed as a general comment of all that ails society, when in fact it is a sordid story about bad people who do not represent society at all." While the debauchery depicted in the film is true, plenty of the Belfort story is myth.

His supposed links to the mafia have never been proven and Stratton Oakmont - a name chosen as it k sounded British and reputable - was never a Wall Street firm: the Wolf of Wall Street operated from a shopping mall in suburban Long Island. Stratton Oakmont was a so-called "boiler room"; ostensibly a call centre where young workers rang investors and random names from the telephone directory, pushing them to buy shares in companies it financed and floated on the stock exchange (in a process called Initial Public Offerings or IPOs). Stratton Oakmont practised a technique called "pump and dump": investors were first hooked with the promise of shares in stable companies and then persuaded to invest in Stratton’s IPOs. The greater the number of people who invested, the higher the share prices rose. Illegally, Belfort and a group of insiders he tipped off also bought shares in these businesses. When the prices peaked, Belfort tipped off his cohorts to sell. They all made fortunes while the share prices plummeted, leaving everyone else with worthless stocks. Belfort says he "exited the womb an entrepreneur".

At 16, he sold ice lollies, bagels and trinkets on the beach at Long Island and with the money he made he put himself through college. He enrolled in dental school, but walked out on the first day when the Dean told the new intake that they were in the wrong profession if they wanted to make money. Instead, he began selling meat off the back of lorries. He started his own firm, but it went bankrupt, owing $24,000, when he was 24. Desperate for a job, Belfort started at the bottom in a Wall Street trading firm working as a connector, making calls to potential investors whom he would patch through to the brokers. "I was pond scum." When he finally passed his traders' exams, he began his stockbroking career on 19 October 1987: Black Wednesday, when the market plummeted 508 points in a day. The company he worked for closed, but the setback only fuelled his desire. In 1989, he set up Stratton Oakmont.

When Cohen and Coleman started investigating the firm in 1992, the brokerage was already the subject of a civil fraud lawsuit brought by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a result, the company was ordered to pay a $2.5m fine and Belfort and his partners, Daniel Porush (played by Jonah Hill in the film) and Kenneth Greene agreed to $100,000 fines apiece. None of the three admitted or denied the SEC's allegations and the penalty was peanuts compared to what the firm and its employees and bosses were earning. Coleman and Cohen spent the following years gradually digging away to collect evidence - but the loyalty Belfort engendered in his well-paid staff made it an almost impossible task. The breakthrough came when Belfort became desperate and began smuggling money out of the country. The funds ended up in Swiss bank accounts, where it was laundered - and money-laundering was Coleman's area of expertise. "The crowbar we used to open them up was the tax evasion," he explains. "We were able to get some witnesses who were helping them smuggle the money to provide information about that.

We used that to go to the Swiss authorities to get them to provide information about the bankers Belfort was using in Geneva. It took time because bank secrecy in Switzerland was still very robust and we had to convince the authorities that this sort of behaviour was something they should provide information to us about. Eventually we got Belfort’s Swiss banker to co-operate." With concrete evidence, both Belfort and Porush were arrested in September 1998 and persuaded to work with the investigation. Belfort was required to post $10m security as a condition of his bail. (The security took the form of jewels which he had delivered to the courthouse in an armoured car accompanied by armed guards.) The skills that made Belfort such a good conman also made him an effective government mole: the evidence he collected was used in scores of other prosecutions. Belfort eventually pleaded guilty. The case took years to come to trial and in 2004 he was convicted, sentenced to four years, and jailed, serving 22 months in all.

He reported to a federal prison camp in California, where he shared a cell with the comedian Tommy Chong, of Cheech and Chong fame, who was serving a nine-month sentence for selling drug paraphernalia. Chong was working on a book; after hearing Belfort's outlandish tales, he persuaded his cell-mate to put pen to paper as well. On his release in 2006, Belfort realised there was an appetite for his life story and started pitching his manuscript. Publisher Random House gave him a $1m advance. Within a year of his release, The Wolf of Wall Street was on sale. Coleman still keeps in contact with his former prey "as a subtle reminder that I am still watching", and the FBI man admits he is curious about the film. Asked to consult on the plot, he's played by actor Kyle Chandler (who recently appeared in Argo and Zero Dark Thirty). "I want to see how I am portrayed," he says. "I hope it's done realistically, rather than the stereotypical FBI guy in a suit." As for Cohen, "I don’t think Jordan loves me. In his book, his caricature of me is unfair.

He describes me as 'the bastard' about 100 times." Belfort has realised that infamy can be lucrative. However, for the man who once boasted he made $13m in one day, crime will not necessarily pay in the end. According to a recent letter from prosecutors sent to the judge overseeing his compensation agreement, so far Belfort has paid $11.6m of the required $110.4m into the fund. The letter suggests he has been withholding payments and that he is in default of his agreement. Belfort disputes this and is currently in talks with the federal courts to resolve the situation. Whatever the outcome, the Wolf still has a long way to go before he pays his debt to society.
