Usain Bolt said on Wednesday that more than $12.7 million is missing from his account with a private investment company in Jamaica and that authorities are looking into it.
The Associated Press received a copy of a letter issued to Stocks & Securities Limited requesting the money's return from attorney Linton P. Gordon.
Gordon claimed that Bolt's account formerly showed a balance of $12.8 million but now only shows a balance of $12,000.
Bolt's attorneys write in the letter, "If this is correct, which we hope it is not, then a severe crime of fraud, larceny, or a combination of both have been done against our client.
A request for comment from Stocks & Securities Limited was not quickly fulfilled. The business requested that customers issue have arisen to the Services Commission, which is looking into the firm.
