According to reports, lawyers for Usain Bolt say the retired sprinter is missing over $12.7 million from his account which is managed by a private investment firm in Jamaica. At the time of the report, Bolt had only $12,000 left in the account.
"If this is correct, and we are hoping it is not, then a serious act of fraud larceny or a combination of both have been committed against our client,'' Bolt's attorneys said in a statement. They will seek further action, both criminal and civil avenues, if the money isn't returned within 10 days.
The private firm, Stocks & Securities Limited, has yet to comment on Bolt's situation directly, however, on the company's website they issued the following statement: "We understand that clients are anxious to receive more information and assure you that we are closely monitoring the matter throughout all the required steps and will alert our clients of the resolution as soon as that information is available."
The company is currently under investigation by Jamaica's Financial Services Commission.
