Episode Details

Jordan Belfort's story got the Scorsese treatment in 2013, but The Wolf of Wall Street was only ever half the picture. On this episode of Reality Life with Kate Casey, executive producer and investigative journalist Jason Leopold unpacks Paramount+'s new documentary The Real Wolf of Wall Street, built from over 15,000 pages of previously unreleased government documents and new interviews with the people who actually lived it. Jason is a two-time Pulitzer finalist known for filing more FOIA lawsuits than nearly any journalist in the country, and breaks down who Belfort really was behind the Hollywood myth, what the documents reveal that the movie left out, and how the story of Stratton Oakmont still echoes through finance today.
