Bolt is now examining the option of pursuing legal action. The sportsman had an account with Stocks and Securities (SSL) in Kingston, and shared that his current bank balance is $12,000. His attorney, Linton Gordon, has corroborated this piece of information. Bolts’ party is demanding a return of funds. Gordon stated:
“If this is true, and we hope it is not, then our client has been the victim of a significant crime of fraud, theft, or a combination of both.”
According to Stocks & Securities Limited, the scam was found earlier this month and multiple clients may have lost millions of dollars to it.
