How Accurate The Wolf Of Wall Street Is To The True Story

Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street is based on the true story of the infamous rise and fall of con artist Jordan Belfort. Belfort took the world by storm after the 2013 release of Scorsese’s film and inadvertently became a representation of modern capitalism at its best and worst. The dramatized version of events depicted in the movie ring mostly true to the 2007 memoir of the same name. The memoir was written by the exuberant and self-congratulating Belfort who described many of the plot points from his own recollection of his personal life.
