Usain Bolt became a millionaire during his illustrious athletics career.

The Jamaican cemented himself in sporting legend as he smashed record after record.

His 100m and 200m world records still stand today.

But he now reportedly has a bank balance of just £10,000 after losing £10m to scammers.

Bolt has been affected by a three billion dollar fraud case that has affected more than 40 clients.

The money he had invested in a Stocks and Securities Limited account has reportedly almost been completely wiped out.

Usain Bolt breaks silence after losing £10m to scammers

Bolt has been dealing with the situation for the past few weeks.

He commented on the case for the first time this weekend.

Bolt is usually upbeat and always has a smile on his face but, understandably, he looked rather deflated as he addressed the matter.

Speaking at a luncheon for the Gibson McCook Relays at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel, Bolt said, per Jamaica Observer: "It's always going to be a sad situation for anybody to lose what they have worked hard for.

"That is a sad situation and I am definitely disappointed.

"I don't want to say too much but, as we know, from everybody's standpoint it doesn't look good.

"I've read a few comments and everybody is confused. I am as confused as the public, but we'll see what happens.

"No, I'm not broke, but it has definitely put a damper on me.

"It was for my future. Everybody knows I have three kids, I am still looking after my parents, and I still want to live very well."

"Let's give it time and see what will happen," Bolt added.

"For me it's tough, but I think the years of competing helped me to understand and just focus.

"I leave the matter in my lawyers' hands and I am just trying to focus on my family and try not to think too much about it because it's a stressful situation."

The Jamaican government have now asked the FBI to get involved and help them in their search to recover the money.

Lets hope all those affected get their money back soon.
