Factual error: The screen writer has inadvertently turned Jordan Belfast into an omniscient being through his incredible foresight to have known in the mid-90s that internet stocks (late 1990s) and CLOs (mid 2000s) would become the subject of significant Wall Street misdeeds...with that type of foresight, Mr. Belfast would have never had to pump and dump stocks to make money! From the yacht scene at World Financial Center: "You know who you should be looking at? Goldman, Lehman Brothers, Merrill. What those guys're up to with collateralized debt obligations? This internet stock bullshit? C'mon. If you want, I'll walk you through exactly." Sloppy unprofessional writing - completely out of context for the time at which the discussion was happening...it sure would have been interesting if Agent Denham had taken Jordan up on the offer.
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
41 mistakes
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Jon Favreau, Spike Jonze, P.J. Byrne
Jordan Belfort: I fucked her brains out... For eleven seconds.
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.

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.
