A former employee is being investigated by the Jamaica Constabulary Force for millions of dollars going missing from Sprint legend Usain Bolt’s investment account at a local company in Kingston.

On Thursday, the Jamaica Gleaner reported that the Sprinter’s stock and investments portfolio with a company named Stocks and Securities Limited had been tampered with, and the sprinter-turned-producer is now missing millions from his account.

Usain Bolt’s manager and best friend Nugent Walker told local media that the former athlete only found out about the missing money on Wednesday. He has not revealed how much money is missing, but the police have launched an investigation while one suspect, a former employee fired for fraud, has been implicated.

Reports on Thursday are that SSL called the police while the employee has reportedly retained the services of an attorney.

“All the relevant steps have been taken to come to the bottom of this,” Walker said as he pointed out that Financial Investigations Division (FID) and Financial Services Commission (FSC) has been made aware of the incident.

In the meantime, Walker said that Bolt has held an investment account with SSL for more than ten years, and the entire portfolio is being reviewed to see if there are more discrepancies.

In the meantime, the unidentified employee is said to be implicated in a massive fraud at the investment company that has a good reputation locally. That fraud also involves Bolt’s accounts. The employee is being represented by Attorney-at-law Tamika Harris, who told the Gleaner, “My client is in discussion with SSL and the lawyers representing SSL.”

The talks are said to be in their second week, the attorney said.

Usain Bolt is a four-time Olympic champion and has scored endorsement deals from the likes of Puma, Nike, and Gatorade. In 2013, he was named the seventh highest-paid athlete by endorsements. His current endorsements include Mumm, Hublot, and others.

Usain Bolt has not publicly addressed the development, but the artist’s fans speculated that many of his endorsement deals and his earnings as an Olympic athlete may well be part of that investment portfolio.

Shenseea and Burna Boy are among the many artists set to make their Coachella debut this year.

Shenseea has been named as one of the performers for Coachella 2023. The event organizers revealed the official poster on Tuesday featuring more than 50 artists that will grace the stage over three weekends in April. The Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival is a annual music festival held in April, and this would be the second staging of the event since the pandemic started in 2020.

Shenseea shared the official poster from Coachella confirming her attendance at the festival, which would be her debut. “@coachella 15 & 22,” she wrote on Instagram.

Along with Shenseea, there are two other reggae acts, American bands Stick Figure and Rebelution. For 2023, the festival will be headlined by superstar Bad Bunny, R&B sensation Frank Ocean, and K-pop girl group sensation BLACKPINK.

The event this year will be held at Emporio Polo Club in Indio, California, and will run off on the weekends of April 14-16 and April 21-23. Shenseea will be performing on the day headlined by BLACKPINK and other artists Rosalía, British singer Labrinth, the Kid Laroi, Boygenius, Yung Lean, Mura Masa, Kenny Beats, Rebelution, and many others.

Overall, the event also sees Burna Boy, K-pop star Jackson Wang and Idris Elba and Metro Boomin, Doechi, GloRilla, Klai Uchis, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Blaze, Willow, Rae Sremmurd, Pusha T, Suicideboys and others. Coachella usually adds more artists to the rundown as the time winds down.

Shenseea, who is no stranger to large festivals, having performed at several Rolling Loud Festivals across the country, received commendations from her Instagram followers. “We good on the way to the desert,” Shenseea’s American road manager Dizzy Cleanface wrote.

“Yesssss I can’t miss your set!” Love & Hip Hop cast member Bobby Lytes said. “Greatness,” rising artist Valiant wrote.

“You were a spectator last year and this year ur a performer, congratulations,” a fan reminded the artist who attended the festival last year with producer London On Da Track and Megan Thee Stallion.
