The Wolf of Wall Street - Jordan Gets Caught

Thought I'd post this scene on KZbin. It's towards the end of the film where Jordan has to wear a wire and he lets his associate Donnie know what he's doing. This eventually leads him to get caught by the FBI. Enjoy!

He was caught because he wasn't clever, big or connected enough in how he steals from people. It had nothing to do with morals. None of those CEOs and managers that destroyed the economy in 2007-2009 ever got in trouble except a brown person and a couple small fish.

[@ashleyp.4932]

I would have thought the FBI listening to the wire, would have picked up Donny's change of mood. There he is "It's great to have you back..." all excited and happy, then suddenly - once he reads the note - he goes monosyllabic and hardly saying a thing. That would surely have raised their suspicions that JB would have told him.

the FBI can suspect but that's not evidence, so it would't be able to be used to incriminate either of them

[@ramprire]

Some things: Donnie does indeed betray them all. In an early copy of the script, it is heavily implied. Due to some editing, it's a lot more subtle. In the yacht sinking scene, Donnie half confesses but is interrupted by "the ludes". Secondly, he's deleting in anticipation of the FBI coming in and isn't being taken away like the others. His hands are in his head while this happens. He knows what's going on. If he wasn't in on it, he would have been yelling and screaming like the others. Now obviously in a real situation he would have already cleared his stuff before they even came, but to show him doing it before they come in shows he knew before hand: the result is the same. Third, the note was in their office. Not some restaurant as some people mistake. It shouldn't have gone anywhere, not even the trash can. It's probably intact because Donnie said he would take care of it: obviously, we can't confirm this, but the fact remains that the note is in pristine condition when presented. Also, the note itself isn't enough to incriminate Jordan. They have no proof he wrote it, nor if it was related to him at all. The only way it could be proof is if someone submitted it. The only person who could do such a thing was Donnie. Lastly: in real life (and in the books), the note didn't really matter. They practically let it slide.

[@user-xl5kd6il6c]

Your list makes no sense. If he was in with the FBI, he would have nothing to delete at that time, he would already have deleted it or handed it over. He was only deleting it now because he was informed by Jordan. If he wanted to give the note, he would have clean his shit before doing it. If he knew about it when Jordan told him not to incriminate himself, he would have to be a good actor to act the way he did, which would be out of character for his character. If the script writers wanted to imply he was in it, than that makes the scene terribly directed.

Donnie ratted on Jordan long before this. The whole boat in a thunderstorm scene is pretty brilliant script writing and revealed it. Donnie makes a halfway confession, the whole thing was a ruse to catch Jordan and now Donnie feels he is being punished for betraying Jordan. The agents needed him on the phone to gather proof. Just the way Jordan compliments how he was sold the pen at the dinner they created a "sense of urgency" to sell the trap. The agents used Donnies friend suddenly making a move against Jordan financially to gather that evidence.

+Pointl Ess the information is not on his computer but in the server that they may not even have access to it

[@ufotofu9]

+Pointl Ess Yeah if you delete a file without replacing it with something else (about 7 times for good measure, per the NSA) , surely an FBI tech can find the original deleted files. But the FBI was already there. If he had tried to purposely destroy his computer, it would have added additional charges of Evidence Tampering and probably Obstruction of Justice. Normal Magnets won't completely destroy a hard drive. Even an Electromagnet probably wouldn't. The one way the assure HD destruction is to put it in the microwave. Let's say that a hacker fears that the police might one day bust in and they will have to quickly destroy all evidence. This is extreme, but the easiest homemade method is to get a obtain a small amount of Thermite and position it onto of your hard drive. Since Thermite is extremely stable, and will not start to react even at temperatures above 1000 degrees, it will not go off unless you mean it to. So you buy a model rocket engine launcher, some Sparklers and hook the model rocket launcher to a rocket blast cap (hobby shops have these) and attach that to the business end of the Sparkler. Place the Sparkler in the Thermite, and if the Fuzz comes knocking you can hit one button (or turn a key and hit the button) and the Thermite will burn right through the Hard drive. (Note: this was for education and hypothetical purposes. I am not advocating that you do anything that I wrote about).

true true

[@andygarcia9941]

you thinking about breaking bad lmao

[@alternative_action]

Andy Garcia Magnets, bitch! 😂

[@Pafraany]

4:03 apparently Donnie didnt know you can select multiple files and delete them at the same time lmfao

[@mebem1008]

For the first time, Jordan is empathetic and for the first time and he's the one who gets betrayed by his friend, i was expecting Jordan to betray donnie and not the other way around 😭 deserved tho

[@mebem1008]

The law student already betrayed them tho but this betrayal was more shocking bc Jordan tried to protect donnie

[@rickb.284]

First rule of crime: Think and dont get caught!!! He left a piece of paper behind he should have eaten, literally eaten, and the FBI found it?

[@w.c.5302]

When I was watching this as it came out, it flew wayy over my head that Donnie betrayed Jordan..

[@fuckchocouch]

Donnie really must’ve ratted him out first

[@conn_man_249]

Looks like Eric Taylor gave up being a coach to be an FBI agent.

[@IvanIvanov-dj9lv]

is there anything on the book about this paper, it doesnt looks real to me

[@ketgremlin8776]

Can’t believe Donnie betrayed him

[@felipekirshner1553]

This is the moment where Jordan realized the position he was in no money and no friends

[@St.CrimsonTweets]

Jonah Hill is such an amazing actor.

[@MrThrashmetal13]

the way the sushi is filmed at 1:14 is brilliant to this scene!

[@MiguelAngel-tc6ht]

why?

[@petersandas9624]

they're eating sushi for lunch champ ,,,not much more to read into it i think

[@TheStonerosesHQ]

Wasn't it because the guy who owns the sushi franchise got Jordan caught because they busted him with Jordan's banker

[@alonenjersey]

A now ex-girlfriend of my and I use to have lunch @ this Japanese place on the Upper East Side. That is exactly how it is to be presented.

[@fulfillmenttheory]

The FBI agent was the actual badass of the movie.

[@GigaChadh976]

Nah man, he lost.

[@bottle1lack743]

0:38 This actor also appears in 'The Departed' as the real estate broker that sells an apartment to Sulluvan (Matt Damon's character). I was wondering where do I recognize him from.

[@elijahvigil7467]

Well both films were made by Martin Scorsese. So that should have something to do with it

[@wayd19]

It’s crazy the emotions movies can make feel while watching them. It’s like they can almost make you feel bad for that piece of sh!t for a minute and even forget he is garbage in the first place haha.

[@TheWorthlessKing]

America the beautiful

[@shanklandfan]

2:30 Donnie puts his left hand down and it becomes a right hand 😂

[@samkresil6011]

4:09 Oh yeah, he`s in trouble now.

[@toecutterify]

2:24 can i get my award for this role too?

[@Blackridge.]

@3:38 when reality kicks in and you are bound to face the consequences of your actions

[@lorenzotorio4628]

I just go here to watch where Jonah Hill payback to Leo in eating the sushi absolutely funny af. Hahahahaha

[@jonatanamaya8448]

That's a true friend

[@mackcummy4976]

Why didn't he get rid of the note?

[@ElvisCarReviews]

Fake friends

[@stephanoplaza1015]

Elvis Car Reviews nice mustang

[@TheBeWitty]

Goblin Big Boss Donnie gave the yellow paper to the police, he ratted Jordan out to get off lightly

[@AngelArm1110]

Thats what happened there?? That went right over my head

[@stephanoplaza1015]

Robert Johnson cause you’re dumb

[@AngelArm1110]

its 'because', not 'cause'

[@eduardomonteiro9577]

Donnie realizing that the journey had ended…

[@exhbitionreflection2452]

First 10 seconds is beautiful.

[@Cerro999]

I love that golden yacht-master, my dad has platinum one

[@JB19504]

Kyle is a great actor!

[@whyyoutrippindeebo3514]

The shock in Donnie’s eyes was real… like this is really happening?

[@nolinpowe]

The scene where Leonardo takes the yellowtail, Jonah is breaking character that's why he's covering his mouth 🤣 because he improvised the line it's all yours and Leo ran with it

[@scandy7518]

soo did donnie cheated jordan??

[@jqyhlmnp]

2:19 if donnie wouldn't even eat the god damn yellow tail...

[@WhiteBloggerBlackSpecs]

They went through so many emotions

[@eastmeetswestpresents6923]

2:25 - in such an intense scene, you get a moment that Jonah, Leo and Marty actually remember as an improvised scene that was actually a prank comeback by Jonah to Leo

[@siv1994]

2:36 he's scratching his forehead 2:37 Boom he's holding sticks

[@jeanandre6998]

siv1994 lol movie mistakes lol

[@jamesalvarado3961]

He could have burnt that yellow paper.

[@hopefulBeliever]

What’s the Song at the end

[@zaidtawfiq6028]

whats really funny is leo took some parts of the movie seriously and would "beat up" jonah hill because of this, and because jonah couldnt physically fight back he told leo he could have that last piece of sushi or whatever it was. They had to do 8 takes. Leo was throwing up in a trash can by the end, and jonah hill and martin scorsese were dying of laughter.

[@Eggs_is_eggs]

The only explanation that makes sense is that Donnie ratted out Jordan.

[@jedricreyes6581]

If there’s ever a Goodfellas remake Leo would be the best Henry

[@JayLidz1223]

Jonah said on Ellen that this scene was “the end of donny and Jordan’s friendship” and that they are trying to communicate parting words to each other without saying it. (Go search it) so I personally think Donny is the rat because if he really cared, he would have kept in contact & the friendship would have continued. & on top of that, the guy was legit deleting stuff expecting them to come and raid. He did not give a toss about Jordan knowing that he was going tf down. My only question is why

[@fusionplayer5983]

How did they find the yellow slip?

[@michaellepore9961]

For a smart fella HOW TF DO YOU FORGET TO GET RID OF EVIDENCE... If that's really how they bagged him.

[@E9neTheRant]

He could of took all the blame and let them know and went out a legend in and out the streets.

[@sissi6013]

He would have spent 20 years in jail.

[@coffeeagent1]

Wait so did Donnie turn Jordon in? How did they get the note?

[@alexzandereisman6602]

I don’t know but hearing the lemonheads while the Firm is busted always makes me laugh 😂
