The real-life story of Stratton Oakmont, a brokerage firm, is the subject of a new documentary, The Real Wolf of Wall Street. The film, produced by See It Now Studios, features insights from Howie Gelfand, a former partner at Stratton Oakmont, who argues that the 2013 Hollywood dramatization starring Leonardo DiCaprio got the real story wrong.
