A loss in any form is disheartening. And when an individual loses out on something they’ve worked hard on, the loss hits harder. Usain Bolt has recently been facing tough times due to a financial scam. A decade’s worth of his investments was swiped away after the scam. The athlete has since been showcasing his feeling of betrayal through a series of social media posts.
In a recent development, Bolt’s team has taken some strict measures against the investment firm Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL). Along with demands to return the star’s money, they have also provided an ultimatum to do so. Meanwhile, Bolt has been actively posting cryptic messages on social media, hinting at his feelings.
Since the scam caught the attention of the public, fans have been extremely supportive of the Olympic Legend. From sending in supportive messages to backing up Bolt on his demands, fans have come together to empathize with the star. Meanwhile, Bolt has been expressing his sadness in the form of posts and stories, albeit in a cryptic way.
