\n\tLeonardo DiCaprio immortalized Jordan Belfort in Martin Scorsese\u2019s 2013 epic \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street,\u201d portraying the former stockbroker and convict\u2019s rise and fall with coke-addled intensity.<\/p>\n
\n\tBut an upcoming Paramount+<\/a> docuseries, \u201cThe Real Wolf of Wall Street<\/a>,\u201d promises to unveil the true story of Belfort and his boiler room brokers at Stratton Oakmont, which is \u201ceven darker and more debauched than previously known.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tThe three-part doc is currently in production from Maxine Productions (\u201cQuiet on Set,\u201d \u201cThe Fall of Diddy\u201d) and See It Now Studios (the division behind recent true-crime docs \u201cDon\u2019t Date Brandon\u201d and \u201cThirst Trap\u201d), and it will premiere later this year.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe Real Wolf of Wall Street\u201d features exclusive interviews with insiders who have never previously spoken out about Belfort, plus new footage and 15,000 previously unreleased government documents. It will show how Belfort became the face of 1990s excess before his fraudulent brokerage firm imploded and he was sent to prison. (As of now, Belfort is not involved in the project.)<\/p>\n \n\tAs the head of Stratton Oakmont, Belfort led a stock market scheme that defrauded investors with \u201cpump and dump\u201d penny stock sales. Before it all came crashing down, he was famous for his extreme party lifestyle, which involved copious amounts of drugs, women and yachts. In 1999, after securities regulators had closed in on Stratton Oakmont, Befort pled guilty to securities fraud and money laundering charges. He served 22 months in federal prison and became an FBI informant, giving testimony against several of his co-conspirators. In 2007, he published the memoir \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street,\u201d which Scorsese adapted into his Oscar-nominated film of the same name.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe Real Wolf of Wall Street\u201d is produced by Maxine Productions (a\u00a0part\u00a0of\u00a0Sony Pictures Television\u2019s nonfiction arm) and Bloomberg.\u00a0Executive Producers are Mary Robertson, Anneka\u00a0Jones and Jesse Sweet for Maxine Productions; Jason Leopold for Bloomberg; Cassie Thornton, Amy Palmer and Michael Bloom.
