People that were at the party, including Danny Porush, dispute that the tossing happened. While “dwarf tossing” was (and sadly still is) an actual thing, it probably didn't happen at Stratton Oakmont. The event, held at the Stratton Oakmont office, shows the brokers and traders at the company competing in a contest that involves throwing little people at a target and other shocking behavior. One of the more offensive moments in the film is the “dwarf tossing” scene. The Offensive Scene With The Little People Might Not Have Been Real He really did tell Belfort that the key to success was “masturbation, cocaine and hookers.” The chest thumping was not real though, that was all McConaughey. One fact that does appear to be true is the scene in the movie with Matthew McConaughey’s character, based a real life mentor to Belfort named Mark Hanna.

The incredible yarns Jordan Belfort spins of the insane office parties, the Quaaludes, the cocaine, booze, head shaving and dirty sex are enough to make Motley Crue blush. It's also incredibly hard to verify how much of the debauchery is true. The book is not so much a warning of the perils of excess it actually sets a new standard in the perils. It makes for an amazing read, but it’s also obvious that you can’t trust everything. So again, he's the epitome of an unreliable narrator. The memoir, also titled The Wolf Of Wall Street, as you can imagine, is filled with wild and crazy stories told by the convicted con artist that loves to promote himself. The Wolf Of Wall Street Is Based On Jordan Belfort’s Memoir
