    The irony of him stealing money to fund a film about a guy stealing money just makes me chuckle.
  • @JokersAce0
    I wouldn't have wanted The Wolf of Wall Street to be funded any other way.
  • @AisyaFarid
    As a Malaysian, im so happy that this is still being talked about years after. Corruption and nepotism is so real in this country.
  • As a kid he grew up around the wealthy... crazy to think that feelings of envy at such a young age can shape the course of one's life so dramatically
  • @alexnope769
    The perfect way to make a movie about a guy who stole millions on Wall Street is to have it financed by a guy who stole millions from Wall Street.
  • @erfho8y
    A fraudster stole a 100 million dollars through fraud, to make a movie about a fraudster who stole more than a 100 million dollars through fraud. That's gotta be an instant classic.
  • @IffyEdem
    Mistake that was made; Jo saw power as him being known, while his power would’ve been greater if he was unknown
  • Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely...
  • The best part of the book was when Belfort realized that Jho Low was a con man right away. Takes one to know one.

  • I love Malaysia, as a foreigner who lived two years there. However corruption there is somewhat truly disappointing, as to how it is sometimes overlooked by its own parliament. Hopefully, the country can be economically strong soon.
  • @jumpsuitCD
    Growing up is realizing that rich people get rich not by pulling up their bootstraps, but by clipping the strap and stealing the boot.
  • @papaganteng194
    As a Malaysian... this the biggest heist in the world. I'm ashamed of what our PM did to our beloved Malaysia. Someone has to pay for this either Jho Low or najib himself.
  • @AcacioCarvalho
    The fact that the Wolf of Wallstreet was made with fraudulent money is just hilarious.
  • @loneranger7877
    I find it amazing this person was able to get away with this theft without all the other staff, managers, accountants etc. not knowing millions of dollars was being stolen
  • @mrmochi2133
    The fact that the corrupt politicians in Malaysia can still walk freely and campaigning political elections without any punishment killed me inside
  • @kingbang1992
    Mr. Najib is still walking around Malaysia as a free man, campaigning for UMNO. Nice
