Andrew Greene has filed court papers in New York claiming the character Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff is based on him. In the claim, Mr. Greene says the film contains various scenes wherein Koskoff is portrayed as a criminal and drug user with misogynistic tendencies.
Mr. Greene worked at Stratton Oakmont, the brokerage house founded by Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Green's name was used in Belfort's memoir, on which the film is based.
Paramount and Red Granite Pictures have not commented on the case.
