The Truth Behind ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ ๐ฅ
Did you know that the blockbuster film ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ was funded by one of the biggest anti-money laundering and corruption cases in history? Let’s dive into the shocking truth behind the world’s biggest financial fraud and the real fraudster who made it all happen.
The Notorious Financier: Joe Low
Meet the man behind the scandal, financier Joe Low, known as the “Mozart of the business world.” His rise to infamy began when he became close with the family of the Prime Minister of his native Malaysia. Gaining unfettered access to the country’s sovereign wealth fund, Joe siphoned billions of dollars through a network of shell companies and offshore accounts worldwide. Living a hustling lifestyle, Joe spent the money on luxurious real estate and indulged in extravagant parties and events.
Funding ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’
When Joe Low learned that Leonardo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese wanted to make a film about the notorious fraudster, he took matters into his own hands. Despite no one else being willing to finance the film due to its high costs, Joe Low provided the funds, and that’s how ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ came to be. In a surprising twist, the creators personally thanked Joe Low in the film’s credits, making for a truly ironic story.
