Usain Bolt Loses Over $12 Million To Rogue Investment Firm Employee

by

Usain Bolt is easily one of the most famous athletes in the entire world. He is a legendary Olympic athlete for Jamaica who dominated the 100-meter sprint for two decades. Now, however, Bolt is retired from Olympic sprinting and mostly just plays soccer in his free time.

Overall, Bolt was able to amass millions of dollars throughout his career. Additionally, Bolt was using this money to not just help himself retire but support his parents as well. Unfortunately, Bolt has lost over $12 million overnight, and there is no guarantee he will get it all back.

According to Yahoo! Sports, Bolt had the money in an investment firm called Stocks and Securities Ltd. The company is in Kingston, and as it stands, Bolt and his lawyers are fighting to get the money back. As the story goes, none of this was Bolt’s fault. Instead, the company is saying that a rogue former employee went in and committed fraud against numerous customers.

Furthermore, SSL has noted that they are committed to making sure this never happens again. However, Bolt is still out $12 million, and he wants the company to pay up. “It is a grave disappointment, and we are hoping that the matter will be resolved in a way that Mr. Bolt will recover his money and be able to live in peace,” Bolt’s lawyer Linton Gordon said.

This is an absolute nightmare for anyone, although it is even worse when your entire retirement fund is at stake. Bolt has worked incredibly hard for that money, and to have it stolen by a fraudster is unfathomable.

Stormzy Drops The Powerful Single ‘Mel Made Me Do It’ Along With A Star-Studded Video

by

Stormzy released Heavy Is The Head, his sophomore album, in December 2019. With his first solo single in three years, the UK grime pioneer is putting everyone on notice that he still wears the crown. Produced by Knox Brown and mixed by MixedByAli, “Mel Made Me Do It” arrived Friday (September 23). “I been the GOAT so long, I guess it’s not exciting when I win,” Stormzy spits in the opening line. And the flex only gets stronger from there.

The cinematic KLVDR-directed music video spans nearly 11 minutes and packs in over 30 cameos, including Dave, Ian Wright, Jose Mourinho, Stylo G, and Usain Bolt. 90 seconds in, we’re transported to a fictional talk show aptly titled Mel Made Me Do It hosted by Jonathan Ross and Zeze Mills. Stormzy is their guest alongside British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith and journalist Louis Theroux (aka the “My Money Don’t Jiggle Jiggle” guy). Ross asks Stormzy what’s on his mind, which launches him back into his braggadocios bars: “Any time I do a big flex, just ignore me / N****s wanna hear my side of the story / N****s wanna hear a n**** chat like it’s Maury / F*ck that, you n****s better bask in my glory.”

Midway through, Stormzy is flanked by Mourinho. He delivers the line, “I prefer not to speak like I’m Jose.” The former Chelsea and Manchester United manager puts his finger over his mouth famous as audio cuts in of his famous quote, “I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I am in big trouble.”

Despite all the clever references and name-drops, the song’s inspiration is singular and simple. According to press release, “Mel Made Me Do It” is “a direct reference to the influence of his long-time personal stylist, Melissa’s Wardrobe.” Her appearance in the video comes roughly one minute before a soul-stirring monologue about Black excellence written by Wretch 32 is narrated off-camera by Michaela Coel, the Emmy-winning creator and star of I May Destroy You.

Over the summer, Stormzy received an honorary doctorate from the University Of Exeter for “outstanding achievements in the field of higher education philanthropy and widening participation.” If anything, “Mel Made Me Do It” reaffirms that he’s more locked into his greater purpose than ever.
