The Department of Justice (DoJ) has dismissed the complaints against celebrity Gretchen C. Barretto in connection with the disappearance of more than two dozen cockfighting enthusiasts, ruling that the allegations lacked evidence.

In a 120-page resolution, prosecutors said claims tying Ms. Barretto and several others to the so-called Pitmaster Alpha Group were “speculative and uncorroborated,” noting that no witness or material proof linked them to the abductions.

Ms. Barretto’s lawyer, Alma Fernandez-Mallonga, welcomed the ruling, saying her client had long maintained she had no involvement in the case. “There is no truth to the accusations. She played no part in the situation of the missing cockfighters,” she said, adding that Ms. Barretto was grateful for the support she received.

The DoJ panel said the complaints should be dismissed for lack of merit, though future charges could still be filed if new evidence emerges connecting any of the respondents to the unlawful detentions. — Erika Mae P. Sinaking

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price. This built-in mechanism creates a clear advantage for early investors and explains why the project is increasingly cited in “best presales to buy now” discussions across the crypto space. High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…
