'Where's the money gone?' Jamaicans ask after Usain Bolt fraud case

The investigation into a multi-million-dollar fraud at the Kingston-based investment firm Stocks and Securities Limited, which has reportedly seen Bolt’s $12 million account left almost empty, is dominating discussion in the Caribbean nation Kingston: It is the question on the lips of every Jamaican — and none more so than the country’s most famous athlete, eight-time Olympic gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt. “Where’s the money gone?” The investigation into a multi-million-dollar fraud at the Kingston-based investment firm Stocks and Securities Limited, which has reportedly seen Bolt’s $12 million account left almost empty, is dominating discussion in the Caribbean nation. So much so that one of the country’s top dance hall artists, Gage, quickly released a song “SSL,” whose chorus repeatedly asks the above question in Jamaican patois. Etana said that the case was “embarrassing for the nation,” and said her attitude to investment would consider the affair and the lessons she has drawn from it about Jamaica’s class system.
