Much of this article sources it's evidence from Jordan Belfort's autobiographical novel "The Wolf of Wallstreet" which has been factually proven to be an embellished and inaccurate depiction of events. Many claims Jordan Belfort makes in the book have been debunked, this article should be updated. Hapticmonsoon (talk) 17:09, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is interesting that no sources talk about Belfort's greatest deception -the idea that he was a "Wolf of Wall Street" back in the day, or that anyone on Wall Street knew much of anything about his little pump-and-dump shop on Long Island. This was a shallow fraud, requiring little in the way of financial sophistication, and was something that organized crime figures, with little knowledge of financial markets, were engaged in back in the 1990s. And while I would never waste any money on Belfort's book of lies and wild embellishments, I read the Amazon sample and there's no way Belfort wrote that himself.
