      @@joshualawore4100 Ok get ready here it goes. I own a largish business, and deal alot with high finance. Almost everything he has ever said is a lie.
      Wolf of Wall Street was always promoted as a book he wrote in prison that was almost all fiction which he just based loosely on events in the banking industry. He was very up front about this in early interviews. Then when the movie got big, he all of a sudden just agrees with everyone now that it was all real and actually happened, and has tried to bank on his persona that he is the world best salesman. He isn't. That's why he's still working as old as he is.
      He wasn't liked by anyone in his heyday, the only women that would sleep with him are escorts. There is footage of him doing work speeches and you can't even hear him over the sounds of his employees just ignoring him and talking over him. Because nobody liked him and he wasn't special on the industry in any way.
      Since he has been released from prison for extreme financial fraud, he has accepted payment to promote every scam going, from bad cryptos, to scamming finance gurus.
      He has to work all day every day, mostly using rented accommodation to try to have backgrounds that don't portray how poor and desperate for cash he is. Alot of his stuff he has plain or blurred backgrounds to try to hide that fact.
      Him, and many scamming gurus, all populate the search terms for when you search for how his courses and stuff are scams. When you search 'Jordan belfort scam' one of the top results is a longform interview almost 40mins long kind of insinuating that JB may have been a cheeky crook at one time, but ultimately exonerates him as a legend who is the best at everything, and even the host tries to flirt with him.
      It's HIS video, he produced it, and paid another small channel to promote it for him, its an old as time business trick to try to control bad press where you make the bad press.
      Every call he makes on video where he supposedly sells stuff to people live is fake, and anyone who isn't literally handicapped knows this, but his main audience is young male wannabe finance bro's who have never had a job so don't realise and buy his courses or whatever.
      He is just an out of touch boomer that got alot of fame (but not much money) from a movie deal and he's too dumb to capitalise because he was never very smart to begin with. Thats why he stole a load of money from clients and tried to live a lavish lifestyle.
      Contrary to popular belief, nobody anywhere makes much money from having thier script or book turned into a movie. Your talking literally a few hundred k, IF your lucky, which he wouldn't have been as he was desperate and it was an unknown IP at the time that could have flopped like most movies do, hence the small payout.
      BUT BUT SAM! YOUR WRONG! JK ROWLING IS A BIWWIONAIRE FROM ARRY' POTTAAA!
      Yes, she's extremely wealthy, and she would have got a few hundred k for the initial movie rights or multiple movies, although I even doubt that initially.
      She got rich because she owns everything outside the movie, and the movies went viral and HELPED her sell millions upon millions upon millions of books, and merchandise, which she owns ALL of. And in turn she could then barter deals for the gross of the later movies to compound on the success.
      Nobody talks to belfort about how they read his book. It's just noobs who watched the movie, as the book isn't very good, didn't do well, and still hasn't done well despite what he'll say or pay to print on news sites.
      He has put his name to multiple well known scams that have sinced tried to erase themselves off the Internet, and I promise you if I rang him up and offered him 10k to promote my new rug pull crypto, he would bite my hand off for it.
      Which means he isn't rich in any way. As I wouldn't take a deal like that, so he has less money than me.
      It's a fun movie. But nothing to do with real life apart from the him going to prison part.
      It's difficult to research him as he has been very cunning (as many are in the Internet financial scamming self help industry) and its just buried under so much fake unverified info of him.
      If he was that smart or that great at selling, he would have been snapped up by a huge conglomerate as a consultant and kept on retainer for many many millions per year, to only work a few weeks a year, training work forces or upper echelon sales teams. But he isn't. He sells scam self help and get rich quick courses.
      This brings me back to my original statement.
      You know when he is lying, because he is speaking.

    I basically did this in high school when I was 14, a new bargain store opened near where I lived that sold 500ml bottles of Pepsi and other drinks for 25p, in other shops they were £1 each, so I'd buy 4 for £1, go to school and sell 3 of them for £1 each, tripples the money I spent and I still had a drink for myself, its not a hard thing to do, if you can buy things cheap and find a customer base willing to buy the products for more than you spent, you will make money.
    I went from selling a few bottles a day to making £100 a week from what I could fit in my rucksack everyday. I could have made more (bigger rucksack) but I was making enough to buy my 14yo self anything I wanted, xbox, TV, computer, games to go with them.
    And all because I went to the shop before school 1 day and bought 4 bottles of Pepsi, when my friends either didn't have time to go to the shop or didn't have a shop near where they lived/got the bus to school from. They had the money to buy lunch anyway, but the drinks at school were like £1.50 and up, so me offering them a drink for £1 saved them money too, it was like I was doing them a favour.

    I work at Jones Beach now and people still do this. They walk through the sand with a wheel barrow selling ice cream. They get shit from the park management all the time, but they’re so chill with all the lifeguards.

    Why should I believe this guy? He literally made his millions lying to people and ripping them off. Now he plays pretend that he was just a “good salesman” and not a criminal.

      He was a criminal 10 year old, he sold ice cream without a permit. Someone arrest him. You people are sad

    The hourly wage was $1.20 yet as a kid you had $22 to spend on ice cream and candy just based around a random idea that may of failed?
    Meaning losing that $22 wouldn't of been much of a loss if as a kid you were willing to risk 3-4 days of fulltime wages on a simple idea.
    Sounds like you were a rich kid, extremely over stating the event or and most probably lying.

    This would be so encouraging and inspiring if the game wasn't rigged. Licensing, tax and trading laws are so much more restrictive now than back in 1978. You'll make a little until the enforcement people get to you if you're not toeing the line or 'costs' do if you are.

      @@kobold7763 That shows what you know. "The irs targets the crooks and the fat cats". Lol. For the benefit of the hard of understanding, let me point out that in fact the irs rather prefers to target the lowest hanging fruit and doggedly persues the little-guy with enforcement agents absolutely everywhere. You are gullible or uninformed if you think otherwise. These days your el chapos get a free ride.

    Nowadays you'd need to apply for council permission. Usually rejected and then gave a fine if you tried to sell the ice creams anyway
