News of Usain Bolt losing his life savings to financial fraud is all over the internet. While Bolt copes with the loss, he has posted yet another cryptic message that has caught everyone’s eye. Before this, the track and field star shared multiple posts on his social media handles, regarding the difficult situation.
Investment firm Stock and Securities Limited (SSL) recently came under public scrutiny after news of an internal employee wiping the assets of 30 investors, came to the fore. To date, there has been no progress in either recovery of the lost amount, or in catching the perpetrators. In his recent Instagram post, Bolt tries to look at the situation outside of the media furor.

The legend wrote, “The real ones see through all the PR distractions. #focus.” Evidently, Bolt suspects some shady PR activities at work, as the company has not yet run into trouble with the Jamaican government. SSL is still looking for the perpetrator of the $1.2 billion fraud, committed by an ex-employee in tandem with an external wealth advisor.

Bolt’s suspicion is justified on the basis that he and his management team had already warned SSL regarding the possibility of a future anomaly. Post the revelations, however, the Financial Services Commission (FSC), has temporarily taken over the management of the investment firm.
Fans react to Bolt’s cryptic message
Usain Bolt isn’t the only one disappointed with the system. His fans around the globe are questioning both, the Jamaican government, and the company at fault, SSL. Here are some angry reactions from Bolt’s fans –
“I’m glad u realize all the people u thought were friends and acquaintances dont phuck with u and they are envious of u! Stay focused!!! Keep your foot on their necks! #teambolt.”
“Don’t let up on them.”
“It’s so sad to see our own people robbed out modern day hero and nothing is being done about it.”
“They can only play in people’s faces for so long. We cannot let them succeed by bringing in confusion and doubt.”
