💸 Welcome to the last episode of Banking Bad, a podcast series that features six true-crime stories from the world of money.
🐺Are you familiar with the name Jordan Belfort? If not, you might recognise him as the infamous 'Wolf of Wall Street'. Belfort's journey in the financial world is nothing short of exhilarating — starting from his humble beginnings as a door-to-door salesman to becoming the mastermind behind Stratton Oakmont, a fraudulent brokerage firm that swindled millions from unsuspecting investors.
We look at the legal consequences that eventually caught up with him, leading to his arrest and imprisonment, and draw conclusions and valuable lessons from Belfort's life of excess.
