Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort Blows Up on Australian 60 Minutes

Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort Blows Up on Australian 60 Minutes

"Jordan Belfort, the crazy rich maniac whom crazy rich maniac Leonardo DiCaprio played in last year's Wolf of Wall Street, does not like being asked if he's participating in unsavory financial behavior on Australian offshoots of American news magazines.

After dodging some questions and passing on others during a sit down with Australian 60 Minutes, interviewer Liz Hayes finally asks Belfort, 'The last thing is that you have an oral contract with your management, the Fordham company, is that an attempt to hide your income [in Australia]?' He did not like that question!

'I'm done with this, I'm not gonna get attacked here — you've got a lot of nerve boy, I'll tell you!' he yells as he storms off camera."

Translated into less dramatic terms, his answer is obviously "Yes," since if it were not true, there would be absolutely no reason to get upset. This is the same situation as when people say "I won't dignify that with an answer," which actually means, "If I tell the truth, I'm screwed, and if I lie, the lie itself will come back to haunt me after I get caught."
