A Requirement for Every Foreclosure Judge Watch The Wolf of Wall Street By Sydney Sullivan

Without a doubt every foreclosure judge and any judge who has ruled in favor of the an!s over duped homeowners should be required to watch The Wolf of Wall Street - not once but several times. Every time the ourts consider ruling in favor of these decadent Wall Street creatures ! they should be shoved into a room with a wide flat screen T"# handed a bo$ of popcorn and ice cold oca ola and loc%ed in there for &'( minutes ! so they can see e$actly what they are sustaining by ruling in favor of the ban%s. The Wolf of Wall Street is based on the true story of )ordan Belfort# from his rise to a wealthy stoc%bro%er living the high life to his fall involving crime# corruption and the federal government. *artin Scorcese+s The Wolf of Wall Street with ,eonardo -i aprio in the role of )ordan Belfort opened recently to critical and popular acclaim. Scorsese.s The Wolf of Wall Street contains more /-words and derivatives of it 01(23 than any other movie drama thus far# writes the 4uardian. 5nd when you are watching the movie and reali6e that this is not pure fiction ! you thin%# 7no fuc%ing way8 ! these guys are allowed to do this while homeowners are being thrown out in the street9: /irst;ost <nvesting writes# 7<t+s all here. The greed and the e$cess and the se$ and the boo6e and the Swiss ban% accounts and the comical attempts to stay one step ahead of the /B<. The underlying financial mar%et themes are ! ahem# ahem ! equally interesting# at least to this writer. =o# really. The movie brings out issues of herding# momentum and information cascades quite well. "n the Wi#ard of "#

The movie belongs to a genre that has a long history in 5merican cinema. This is the morality play that pits *ain Street against Wall Street. *ain Street here is all those individuals and businesses who ma%e their living the way most businesses do ! by turning a profit ma%ing widgets and such things. <t may also include the general population that invests in a financial mar%et. Wall Street# by contrast# is the epitome of finance capital# the world of the big ban%s and bro%erages. Some people thin% that *ain Street+s interest > to grow their money in the capital mar%ets ! contrasts with the interest of Wall Street# which is to generate profits by shuffling paper assets.

?ollywood+s been doing this for some time. <n the &@A@ children+s classic The Wi6ard of B6# 7o68 is the way troy ounces of gold are referred to in print# and the Wic%ed Witch of the East represents East oast ban%ing interests. The genre reaches a high point in Bliver Stone+s account# Wall Street. Stone+s account involved shenanigans on the corporate finance and investment ban%ing side# and develops the *ain Street vs. Wall Street clash more profoundly than The Wolf does. The Wolf# by contrast# is about buc%et shops ! or their modern avatar ! the boiler rooms. This is the seamier side of the business# about the pump and dump operations on penny stoc%s that produce herding# followed by momentum# which leads to information cascades# and feedbac% loops.8 Cead more.

Where the movie begins to get to the heart of the Wall Street decadence is in the part played by Dyle handler of the /B< agent ;atric% -enham who begins investigating Belfort ! and li%e most guilty dogs ! Belfort bar%s first and invites the /B< on his yacht# pleads his innocence and tries to bribe -enham. The best line was Belfort+s offer to trade information on 4oldman Sachs# ,ehman and the rest of the big boys on Wall Street because# Belfort said# as bad as his company was ! the ig oys were a lot worse. Though the movie and Belfort+s memoir might seem li%e gross e$aggerations of the truth# depicting heavy drug use and se$capades in the office during trading hours# they+re not e$aggerations at all says the /.B.<. agent who finally too% Belfort into custody# 7< trac%ed this guy for ten years# and everything he wrote is true.8 NYTimes.com This incredible story is true ! and while it is focused on one aspect of trading ! it is indicative of the morally ban%rupt behavior on Wall Street. This is what every judge in 5merica is contributing to as they allow foreclosures on the victims of these corrupt and depraved creatures. Every single foreclosure that a judge grants provides the income to allow this criminal and decadent behavior to continue. -o you want to clean up Wall Street9 Then stop feeding it. ,oo% at your retirement portfolio and see if you really want to continue to hold stoc%s and mutual funds that are questionable and maybe even worthless.

The mortgage bac%ed securities on the other hand did not disclose to the homeowners that their application was being sold and that their collateral was going to be gambled in a seamless computeri6ed automation. =o one told the homeowners they were participating in a securities scheme. <f you doubt for one minute that mortgage-bac%ed securities wasGis anything less unscrupulous and immoral than the Wolf+s business ! thin% again. ?e was right ! the big boys are a lot worse and every foreclosure allows them to feed the machine. <t+s time to wa%e up and starve them out of business.
