  Jordan Belfort is a former stockbroker, author, and motivational speaker. He gained notoriety for his involvement in financial crimes and securities fraud during the 1990s. Belfort founded the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont, which engaged in pump and dump schemes, defrauding investors out of millions of dollars. Belfort's life and criminal activities were depicted in the book "The Wolf of Wall Street" written by himself, as well as in the film adaptation directed by Martin Scorsese, where Leonardo DiCaprio portrayed Belfort. The story portrays his excessive lifestyle, drug abuse, and unethical business practices. After serving prison time for securities fraud and money laundering, Belfort turned his life around and became a motivational speaker, sharing lessons from his past experiences and encouraging ethical business practices. He has written several books and lectures on sales techniques, entrepreneurship, and personal development. While some find value in Belfort's insights and find inspiration in his journey of redemption, others criticize him for profiting from his crimes through speaking engagements and book sales. It is important to approach his teachings and story with caution and critical thinking, considering the context of his past actions.
