First edition of this work which tells from Belfort’s perspective on his career as a stockbroker and how his firm, Stratton Oakmont, engaged in rampant corruption and fraud on Wall Street, which ultimately led to his downfall. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by Jordan Belfort on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket.

In the 1990s Jordan Belfort, former kingpin of the notorious investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of the canyons of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess that no one could invent. "A cross between Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities and Scorsese’s GoodFellas. Belfort has the Midas touch" (The Sunday Times). It is the basis for the 2013 Martin Scorsese film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Kyle Chandler and Rob Reiner.
