Usain Bolt: Sprint Legend Disappointed As Fraud Case Makes No Progress

Usain Bolt is said to be frustrated over the lack of little to no progress on the status of the fraud committed against him over a year ago. The legendary sprinter reportedly lost over 12.7 million USD last year at the Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL) in Jamaica. Usain Bolt looks dejected during a past event. Photo by Michael Steele.

The company, which also lost money to other clients, was put under immediate supervision by the Financial Services Commission to enhance investigations into the case.

However, more than a year later, there hasn’t been much progress made despite Jamaican authorities also involving the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). Usain Bolt’s frustrated Bolt’s lawyer, Linton Gordon, revealed that his client was desperate to know who stole his money. “We haven’t had one iota of information regarding the outcome of those investigations. So, we don’t know who took the money; who we can turn to because everything is now undercover,” he said, as quoted by Jamaica Gleaner. The retired legend posted a series of cryptic tweets last week, with many fans wondering whether he had anything to do with his case.
