Left untold is the story of the victims, disparaged as “garbage” by Mr. DiCaprio’s character in the movie.

For many of them — small-business owners and people like Steve Orton, a State Farm insurance agent from Alpharetta, Ga. — the publicity for the movie has brought back the old pain. Still, Mr. Orton said, while “it kind of sickens me, I really feel like I owe it to myself to complete the circle to see it.”

Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street will be coming out in theaters next week, and Dealbook is looking at the stories the movie won’t be talking about: what happened to the victims.
