Gregory Coleman (FBI special agent)

Gregory Coleman is a former FBI special agent.

Coleman led the criminal investigation of Jordan Belfort. Belfort's meteoric rise, arrest, and conviction were depicted in the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. In the movie, Coleman was portrayed by Kyle Chandler as FBI special agent Patrick Denham, a fictional character.

With over 25 years of experience in the FBI, Coleman specialized in financial crimes, money laundering, and asset forfeiture. His investigations frequently uncovered stock market manipulations, where illicit proceeds were funneled through offshore shell corporations and bank accounts. He was able to obtain banking records from numerous offshore jurisdictions by piercing the veil of banking secrecy laws.
