Continuity mistake: During Mark and Jordan's meal, the second time they do the chest thumping ritual, in the side angles Leo Di Caprio can't help sneer and tries hard not to burst out laughing. In the front shot he is suddenly very serious. This swaps back and forth between shots. This was due to the fact that the scene was improvised, as Matthew McConaughey once told: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/matthew-mcconaughey-interview-gold-wolf-of-wall-street-lunch-scene-chest-thumping-tune-film-a7557551.html.

Continuity mistake: In the yacht scene with the FBI guys, the yacht is alternately docked to its port side with the stern towards open water and with the stern against the dock. When the agents approach the boat, they come from the left side and there is no dock at the stern. When they leave and Jordan throws them bills, they go around the boat's stern via a dock that wasn't there in the first shot.

Continuity mistake: In the very last scene in New Zealand when Jordan is giving a motivational speech, he approaches his first target in the audience and says 'Sell me this pen.' As he does so, he holds out a pen in his right hand. When we cut to the shot to the person's face, we see that the pen is in Jordan's left hand; this goes on and on with every person. (02:52:10)

Question: How did the FBI find the note Jordan gave Donnie when he was wearing a wire?

Chosen answer: As seen from Donne's reaction when the FBI storm the building shortly after, It should be assumed that Donnie told the FBI himself, and kept the note as evidence. One of the reasons for this could be that Donnie must have felt betrayed or something similar.
