EXCLUSIVE
Trump campaign manager-turned federal con Paul Manafort‘s incredibly light prison sentence isn’t as outrageous as many think … at least according to Jordan Belfort, who knows plenty about prison.
We got the real-life “Wolf of Wall Street” Friday at LAX and he weighed in on a couple of big crime and punishment stories. Jordan, who himself was sentenced to 4 years, says it’s pretty clear Manafort caught a break because he’s an old man.
As Belfort put it … 3 years and 11 months makes sense because “how many years does he have left?”
Manafort is 69, BTW … and could get more years tacked on next week when he’s sentenced in his conspiracy case.
The ‘Wolf’ also has an opinion on Jussie Smollett, who just got indicted for a staggering 16 counts in Chicago. He says what the “Empire” star allegedly did is awful, but check out what kinda sentenced he’d give him.
Disorder in the court … Judge Belfort has ruled!
