This is Jordan Belfort. He made $1M per WEEK before being caught. But the "Wolf of Wall Street" movie had to downplay the most shocking details... Here are 7 things they don't want you to know:
1) Belfort's sales script, called the "Straight Line System," was so effective… That new brokers could make $100,000+ in their first months using it. The SEC later classified it as a "masterclass in manipulation" that fueled a $200M fraud empire.

2) His firm employed over 1,000 stockbrokers who cold-called 300+ people EACH daily. They generated so much cash that Belfort hid millions in Swiss banks… Smuggled by friends who taped $100 bills to their bodies. The firm had a dedicated "drug drawer" stocked 24/7.
