Life often works in unexpected ways, sometimes leading to massive disasters. Trusting a source and investing major savings – only for one to fight tooth and nail to get them back – can be demotivating. Track and field star Usain Bolt is currently facing one of his major financial lows. Recently, Bolt noticed discrepancies in his investment account and has been knee-deep in investigating the scam.
Stocks and Securities Limited, a Jamaica-based company, held a lot of investments from Bolt. However, they recently entered troubled waters after reports of fraudulent practices. The star has since posted a cryptic message on his social media that fans quickly reacted to.

This is unacceptable,” resonated across all platforms.
