Some of the scenes in the story were based in truth but were pulled from other Wall Street scandals. For example, the little person tossing depicted in the opening scene[1] did indeed happen[2] - at Fidelity. And the SEC took action.[3][4] The scandal is more or less responsible for the heavy gift and entertainment regulation in the mutual fund industry.
