A gripping three-hour documentary series that brings viewers into this white-collar underworld through never-before-seen home videos, photos, and firsthand testimony from Stratton Oakmont brokers, Belfort's intimate "former" friends, and the investigators who spent years unraveling his schemes. This blunt cast of authentic New York characters expose one of the most audacious financial frauds in Wall Street history. No one in Belfort's circle escapes unscathed. His second wife Nadine, wooed at 22, recounts a life that toggled between exhilaration and insanity. The truth behind this epic tale of greed, indulgence, depravity, and betrayal turns out to be far stranger, and more morally complex, than fiction."

Episodes

Episode 1 Airs Jul 14 Too Much Is Never Enough "The Wolf of Wall Street" and DiCaprio's unforgettable performance became a cultural touchstone for an era of over-the-top greed; in real life, no one was hungrier for a taste of the good life than a young man from Queens named Jordan Belfort. Enlisting his boyhood friends, Belfort perpetrated an audacious stock-trading fraud at his firm, Stratton Oakmont, persuading traders to become self-styled "phone terrorists" who used bravado and shaming to push naive investors into unknown penny stocks. Details Episode 2 Airs Jul 14 More Money, More Problems By the mid-1990s, Belfort's decadent lifestyle is taking a toll on everyone around him; he buys Coco Chanel's yacht and extends it by 25 feet for a helipad; his lavish wedding to Nadine Caridi is a choreographed fantasy; the FBI, Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers are all investigating; unlike the movie, Belfort is forced out of his firm and his life spirals: drug use spins out of control, paranoia creeps in and his marriage deteriorates. Details Episode 3 Airs Jul 14 Truth and Consequences FBI Agent Gregory Coleman finds a weak link; a drug-addled Jordan Belfort grows increasingly abusive to Nadine; Belfort strikes a deal: dozens of convictions follow, yet Belfort emerges relatively intact, serving only 22 months in prison despite schemes that cost investors $200 million and ruined countless lives; Belfort pens an autobiography, "The Wolf of Wall Street," which becomes a hit film starring Leonardo DiCaprio; in his third act, Belfort reinvents himself as an influencer.
