Został oskarżony o oszustwa finansowe związane z manipulacjami na giełdzie papierów wartościowych oraz o prowadzenie tzw. penny stock boiler room (firmy o podejrzanej reputacji zajmującej się telefoniczną sprzedażą akcji notowanych na giełdzie), za co został skazany na 22 miesiące pozbawienia wolności. Swoje wspomnienia opisał w biografii pt. „Wilk z Wall Street”. Na jej podstawie powstał film pod tym samym tytułem, w którym główną rolę zagrał Leonardo DiCaprio.
