Jamaica’s Usain Bolt is missing $12.7m in investment fraud case

Lawyers for eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt say their client has been defrauded of $12.7m from his account with a private investment firm in Jamaica that authorities are investigating.

Bolt was informed last week that his account balance at Kingston-based Stocks and Securities Ltd (SSL) had inexplicably dwindled.

Linton P Gordon, a lawyer of Bolt, said on Friday the account which had $12.8m, is now left with only $12,000.

“We will be going to court with the matter” if the company does not return the funds, Gordon said.

Bad luck, Usain Bolt
