Chased by the FBI

Hello, Im Jordan Belfort , owner of Stratton Oakmont (stockbroking company). I was the richest person in the United States in the 1990’s. I owned a hole collection of cars, three helicopters, one Boeing 747, private jet and obviously, like every other rich person I’ve known; I owned a 340 foot yacht. Everyday I depleted more drugs than Wall Street, Long Island and Manhattan together in a month. I was being investigated by the FBI because of my knowledge and secrets in the economics world. As the richest person in the country I might know more than the president, so I guess… this made me the most powerful person in the country.

It was a lovely April morning, I was living my normal life, drinking my “back pill” in the morning, when I got the call. It was my ex-wife, and now that I’ve mentioned her i’m going to tell you about her. She was a lovely lady, not so sexy and she was not beautiful… so now you can guess why I divorced her; now that I think of it, I don’t really now why I married her in the first place. So back to the lovely April morning… What she told me was that the FBI had enough proof to put me in jail and that I should either hide and run away or retire for life and never get into the stockbroking business again, because if I retire then I could be free. So what did I did? I grabbed all my money, and sailed all the Pacific Ocean in my mega yacht to Switzerland. All my money was put inside a Switz bank so the FBI couldn't take it away from me, so my money was save. Month passed and I was having lots of fun sailing through places like Monaco, Larvotto beach and Monte-Carlo. I thought I had everything solved because I was running the company from the yacht and no one had proof of it, so I was save and making money. But when I was returning from Monaco to Switzerland a storm hit us and my yacht sank. Fortunately we were close enough to Switzerland that the Switzerland coast guard saved me.

After being rescued by the Switzerland coast guard I though well, now they are going to drop us off on Switzerland, but I was wrong. We sailed for days, I didn't know where was I. After 3 weeks in the Switzerland coast guard ship; we finally got to some docks and I didn't understand what was happening, until I recognise the place. It was Long Island, this Switz had taken me back to the United States. So in Octubre 23 1997, the FBI caught me and I was put in jail for five long years, and lost all I’ve ever had.

So that is my life story, and now in the present is 2001. Since I’ve been here in jail I’ve been counting the days for my to be released. This final year has been the longest, and I can’t wait for me to be released.
