　　Usain Bolt early time deposited $12.8 million into Stocks and Securities Limited(SSL). However, this firm has been accused of a scam. When Usain Bolt checked his account again, there is only $12,000 left. This tremendous financial loss gave Usain Bolt and his family a huge negative impact. When asked if he is broke, Bolt said “I‘m not broke, but it’s definitely put a damper on me… It was for my future. Everybody knows I have three kids. Im still looking out for my parents, and I still want to live very well…”. It is clear that Bolt was frustrated about this. According to ABC news, Bolt and his attorneys are planning to sue SSL if this company does not return the money before this Friday.

　　Bolt showed the books about “Laws of Jamaica” on Twitter after the fraud case occurred. Some people mock him that “ Its maybe too late”.
