The Wolf on Wall Street he said...

"95% of what i did was legal and i had not done the illegal stuff, i'd be worth $14 billion+ by now"

Hmmm..i am having a big problem working out what this 95% legal stuff was. And i doubt he'd be worth so much without the illegal stuff.

And how come Bernie Manderhoff got like 100 years and he got 2?

I googled your supposed quote and it says quote by "pumpdump" ... I think you re imagining things...

I think he did say something like that, but I think the 5% was crucial.

Bernie Madoff*

He got in more trouble because he messed with the money of wealthy people, not penny stock buyers.

Belfort owes like $100 Million|$0.1 Billion, Madoff owes like $18 Billion|$18,000 Million

Jordan also turned in other people to authorities. He gave em everything..

that guy lived a pretty awesome life...I mean, when you don't think about the people he screwed over..

Thats easy - penny stocks are nothing illegal. There is no difference in selling normal stocks and penny stocks (except the price).
The illegal stuff he was doing was setting up the IPO(initial public offering of a company) while holding the company's shares (using mules). This way he had more inside information than normal investors.

This is my favorite quote from Jordan Belfort
