If it is common knowledge in Hollywood that this film was based on Boesky’s lived experience, I would think the movie studio must have paid him very well for that privilege.
Making and closing deals was his way of life.

I had to look at the film you referred to.   I never had a desire to watch that.   I'll admit that I hired on with MCI in 1983 and found years late that Michael Michael Milken, the so-called “junk bond king", had financed MCI in the early days.   I retired from MCI (doing business as Verizon Business) and collect an MCI pension that Bernie Ebbers never could get his hands on.   I also believe that enlightened self-interest and so called greed can be a good thing.
