He started out as a clean guy with a homely jewish* wife
Ends up a frazzled corrupt broker divorcing a blonde supermodel.
No major changes?

Potential spoilers in this post:
my rebuttal:
I disagree with your characterization. He never wrestled with the right or wrong thing to do by resisting easy opportunities. Immediately after things went bad the first time he jumped to another job in which he escalated the bad decisions and taught a bunch of more amateurish type brokers how to hustle people with penny stocks and then continued to increase the scale but not nature of his own misbehavior.
This wasn't character development or the corruption of a once ethical individual (as the original Wall Street with Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas portrayed). Leo's character never had the illusion that what he was doing was helping anyone but himself. He simply did what he did because he profited. He twice could have chosen another avenue for his career and twice jumped back into the fray headfirst.
