Haha. Good question. Let's put it this way, the founder never walks around oblivious to the screens like Bobby Axelrod does, there's a whole lot more trading and negotiating activity on the trading floor, there are clear agreements with the portfolio managers on payouts and bonuses, and yeah, there are no psychologists on payroll.

That said, the flashiness and money is real. The houses and cars and ridiculous dinners, crazy obsessions and collections, etc. all pretty accurate. And a lot of the attitude is accurate, too.
