5. Felon Ivan Boetsky want to jail.

The character of Gordon Gekko in the movie Wall Street (1987) is based in part on Boesky, particularly his "greed is good" speech which resembled the commencement speech Boesky delivered in May 1986 at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley: "I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself."

6. Uh, that wasn't Reagan that said that

It was a movie character played by Michael Douglas...

I think his exact phrase was: "Greed, for lack of a better term is good...Greed is right, it clarifies, cuts through"...and more that I can't remember...

The character he played was not a "Christian" part.
