The fastest human being on Earth, Usain Bolt, invested around $13 million in a Jamaican private investment firm called SSL (Stocks and Securities Limited), for his retirement. However, in the beginning of 2023, Bolt came to know that his account has all been debited, and he is left with only $12,000. As the case got bigger, many accounts were found following the same pattern, and the fraud was calculated to be almost about $3 Billion.
Further, the case was given to the Jamaican FSC, which was later passed on to the FBI. The recovery of the money is still uncertain; however, Bolt is strictly following and is adamant about getting his money back. The latest update, which came from Bolt’s side, was that he fired his business manager recently and is currently spending time with his family with being optimistic about getting his money back.
