Specifically mentioned in the current Justice Department complaint is a trip to Vegas that was taken by many involved with the film.
Jordan Belfort was invited on the trip but he says he declined because he was afraid he’d end up dealing with the legal system again.
Apparently, nobody asked the original Wolf who spent 22 months in prison on fraud charges, what he thought of the situation, as he tells The Hollywood Reporter that it was clear to him early on that the people involved with the production company knew their money was ill-gotten, as they acted like people who knew they were playing with somebody else’s money.
