Usain Bolt, a Jamaican Olympic sprinter, was astonished to find $12 million gone from an account he had with Stocks and Securities Ltd., an investment company situated in Kingston, according to his attorney.
According to Bolt’s attorney Linton P. Gordon, who conducted a phone interview, the account had lately been informed that there was only about $12,000 left. The money in the account came from Bolt’s retirement and life savings.
The announcement by Jamaica’s Financial Services Commission said that it had appointed its own temporary manager at SSL in response to concerns of alleged fraud, which had earlier led the commission to increase supervision of the bank.
Gordon stated that he intends to take the matter to Kingston’s Supreme Court if Bolt does not receive the money back within eight days.
