  3 years in a minimum security resort in exchange for living that lifestyle for 20 years?  So worth it

  The only thing bad about this movie was Leonardo DiCaprio not winning an Oscar for his performance as Jordan Belfort.

  Living that lifestyle for a decade and after all that you get to spend 22 months chillin with Tommy Chong at a "summer camp" ... dude is the luckiest human alive.

  I used to work in Finance, and there actually was a dwarf tossing party that did end up getting a brokerage in trouble. It was in Florida. I worked in Compliance and read the NASD and SEC write ups of it. I'm not surprised they threw it in the movie.

  I think if you told Tommy Chong any amount of anyone&apos;s life story he&apos;d say something along the lines of <br> &quot;Yeah man; you should like totally write a book or something&quot;.

  Ah, the days when a 500 point drop in the market could be reported as a great loss, and not just a normal Tuesday.

  I started as an intern at a large financial institution in the actuarial dept... I quickly moved over to Wealth Management. My first day on the floor The executives were debating the difference between a Call-Girl, Escort, and a Hooker. &nbsp;The Wolf of Wall Street is tame compared to what actually goes on.

  It’s insane that Jordan Belford got away with about 2 years after basically robbing people of billions of dollars, yet if someone were to rob a gas station or something like that they would most definitely get at least 10 years give or take depending on what state your in. I think the justice system needs to revaluate it’s crime system and serve harsher criminal sentences accordingly.<br><br>(Edit man this has a lot of likes and comments lol, looking back on this I was definitely wrong on the comment, but I do still think it’s crazy)

  Honestly, Jordan&apos;s lack of justice is an example of how messed up our justice system is.

  DeCaprio’s Lamborghini scene is probably the best I have seen him do.

  I remember my old boss saying afterwards he idolized Jordan Belfort and he got mad when I explained what a horrible crook he actually is. I didn&apos;t work for him much longer after that.

  I always like to imagine Tommy Chong saying &quot;Whoah man, that&apos;s some stooory maaan. You should write a booook maaaan.&quot;
