Film Summary: Director Martin Scorsese's masterpiece that tells the meteoric rise and spectacular fall of real stockbroker "Jordan Belfort". The film tracks how Belfort founded a financial brokerage company based on fraud and selling cheap stocks (Penny Stocks) to investors to achieve rapid and excessive wealth.

The Economic Insight: The film is considered an ideal case study of "Information Asymmetry" in financial markets, where the broker exploits investors' ignorance. It also highlights the absence of financial oversight, corporate greed, and the transformation of sales culture into organized predatory tactics (Predatory Sales Tactics).
