The eight-time Olympic gold medalist had invested nearly $13 million with investment firm Stocks& Securities Limited. However, after the defrauding, Bolt’s lawyers announced he had only $12,000 in his account. The firm launched an investigation. Simultaneously, the Jamaican government also investigated the matter.

Another cryptic Instagram post by Usain Bolt

Earlier, the eight-time Olympic gold medalist uploaded the photo with the caption, “Days Like These!!!” However, the cryptic caption makes it unclear if Bolt is talking about the past or the present. While the presence of the Christian Cross suggests Bolt might be praying to god, he doesn’t explicitly mention if he is merely reminiscing.

Bolt posted an image of bookshelves stacked with books on law. Of the three rows of books, one row had multiple books titled All England Law Reports. Another row of books bore the title Laws of Jamaica. However, the Olympic gold medalist didn’t write a caption for the post. According to The Gleaner, more than 40 people have lost money in the scam.

The initial investigation to find the perpetrators yielded limited information for the Jamaican authorities. SSL failed to track the individual(s) responsible. While the Financial Services Commission implicated a former SSL employee, they couldn’t identify the individual. Former SSL CEOs also revealed they had no idea that Usain Bolt was a client.

On January 23, Jamaican Financial Minister Dr. Nigel Clarke announced they had reached out to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation for help. Clarke also mentioned enlisting the help of other international partners of Jamaica. However, their collaborative efforts to find the perpetrators and recover the money are yet to bear fruit.
