What is #true #success to you? ?? I’ve seen it all and done it all, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that succeeding without any form of #ethics and #integrity is not succeeding at all. ?? While it may have all the riches, it is empty, it is lonely, and it feels wrong. It is, in its purest form, #failure. ?? COMMENT whether you value true #success or #failure. ???????????????? This is the 1st #TakeAwayTuesday from #TheNewWolf ????

In 1996, NASD expelled Stratton Oakmont. Belfort was imprisoned for securities fraud and money laundering and had to severe 22 months in prison. He was ordered to pay back $110.4 million.
Speaking of his experience as a stockbroker, Belfort stated in 2014,

I got greedy. ... Greed is not good. Ambition is good, passion is good. Passion prospers. My goal is to give more than I get, that's a sustainable form of success. ... Ninety-five percent of the business was legitimate. ... It was all brokerage firm issues. It was all legitimate, nothing to do with liquidating stocks.

Now, Belfort works as a motivational speaker and writer. Well, we hope he pays all his debt and once more accumulates a net worth he once owned.
