The Wolf of Wall Street

Other mistake: Story inconsistency, at the start of the film in the Ferrari scene, Jordan says he made 49 million aged 26 as the head of his own brokerage firm. The newspaper article by Forbes states Jordan filed for personal bankruptcy aged 26 and that Jordan is currently 29 and that Stratton Oakmont is 2 years old, making Jordan at least 27 in the scenes when they are still operating from the garage.

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)

Trivia: The humming chant Matthew McConaughey does and Leonardo DiCaprio adopts is actually something McConaughey does before scenes to relax himself and clear his head. He did it before shooting the scene with DiCaprio in the restaurant, and after a few takes DiCaprio suggested that it was put in the scene, so it stayed.

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.
