- Jamaica: FBI to help probe massive fraud case targeting Bolt
- Bolt’s attorneys claim athlete’s account is down to $12,000
Jamaica’s government has turned to the FBI for help as it investigates a massive fraud case involving a private investment firm where $12.7m belonging to renowned sprinter Usain Bolt has gone missing. The fraud lasted 13 years and also ensnared elderly clients and government agencies. Authorities don’t yet know how much was stolen.
Attorneys for Bolt, who said the star athlete’s account has dwindled to just $12,000, have given the investment firm until Friday to return the money before going to court.
