The fastest man alive may have been the victim of a financial crime. According to a media report, Olympic champion and athletics superstar Usain Bolt is missing millions of dollars that have disappeared from his account under unclear circumstances. Bolt’s manager Nugent Walker reports to the Jamaican newspaper The Gleaner.
According to Walker, Bolt discovered on Wednesday that his account with the investment firm Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL) was missing millions. The Jamaican financial authorities and the police are now investigating the case. “All relevant steps have been taken to investigate the matter,” Walker said. Walker did not name the exact amount of the missing sum, referring to the ongoing investigation. “He’s been with this company for over ten years… His entire portfolio is being reviewed,” Walker said.
Ex-employee suspected of fraud
There is suspicion of a financial crime. According to information from The Gleaner, a former employee of the investment firm is involved in a massive fraud case that also includes Bolt’s missing funds. The suspect’s lawyer told the newspaper her client is in talks with the investment firm SSL and its lawyers.
Former Jamaican world-class sprinter Bolt is considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. The 36-year-old is, among other things, an eight-time Olympic champion and still holds the world records in the 100 meters and 200 meters as well as in the 4×100 meter relay. His worldwide popularity also brought him lucrative advertising deals and an enormous fortune. He is considered the highest paid athlete in history. In 2018, Forbes put Bolt’s revenue at more than $30 million a year.
