He sold the dream. But behind the fast cars, yachts, and champagne was a financial fraud of staggering proportions.
Jordan Belfort turned greed into an art form. A young stockbroker with an uncanny ability to manipulate, he built Stratton Oakmont into a money-making machine—fueled by deception, high-pressure sales tactics, and outright fraud. His empire ran on excess: cocaine-fueled parties, billion-dollar deals made in seconds, and an army of brokers trained to swindle the unsuspecting.
How did Belfort construct one of the most notorious pump-and-dump schemes in Wall Street history? Why did so many fall for his intoxicating charisma? And what ultimately led to his downfall?
Jordan Wynn and Dr. Theodore Thorn Archer dissect the mind of a financial predator in Crime Fixation: Season Two – The Art Of The Con, exploring the psychological triggers that made Belfort so effective, the cult-like loyalty of his employees, and the moment the FBI finally closed in.
Power. Greed. Deception. The bigger the lie, the harder the fall.
