Not quite but I wouldn't throw her out of bed either.

To a small group of pump-and-dump traders with no scruples, Jordan Belfort—the poster-child for the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’—is an idol; to most others, including the judge in his case, he’s a deadbeat who’s only paid a small fraction of the tens of millions he owes his victims in restitution.
Belfort is famous for being played by Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street—the already iconic 2013 film that definitively introduced us to the boiler-room beasts, and the over-the-top pump-and-dump schemers that are a black stain on the trading floor.
And Wednesday, during a garnishment hearing in New York City, a federal judge told Belfort’s lawyers that he’s not going to get away with being a deadbeat while he still owns $97 million in restitution to those he cheated. Belfort didn’t even both to show for the hearing, choosing instead to give a ‘motivational speech’ in Lithuania.

i wonder if his real ex-wife looks like margot robbie?
The idiots who pay this shyster good money for motivation deserve all the ills that might befall them.
Not quite but I wouldn't throw her out of bed either.
She looks OK to me.
That movie actually had me rooting for him.
“Sell me this pen.”
I read an interview with Mike Rowe (”Dirty Jobs” host and all around good egg) and he said he worked on Home Shopping Network as a host for a while, which I didn’t know. His interview was simple: “Sell me this pencil”. And he sold it.
Doesn’t hold a candle to the multi-million-dollar deadbeats in DC who regularly commit legalized grand larceny and attempt to rob more from you when they don’t pay their bills calling their “deadbeat” lives a “deficit”.
My wife sold new homes for builders. During one interview the sales manager pulled the old “sell me this pen crap.” My wife said “No.”
The guy was surprised and asked “Why not?”
My wife said “Because I don’t sell pens. I sell new homes” and got up and walked out.
Ever since “Wolf of Wall Street”, I’ve conconcted many responses to that request.
I think my favorite would be to grab his pen/pencil and throw it away. “Who sold this to you? What is a cousin or a ‘good friend’? Bub, you got TOOK.”
Then I’d take my own pen out and commence to selling the shit out of it, sort of like that street huckster on The Twilight Zone when he was trying to hold off death from taking that little girl.
BTW, The Wolf of Wall Street was an entertaining movie. I think debauchery and crime is sick but it makes for a good movie.
He's never going to make 97 Million, so what's the point?
