DOJ To Charge Opsytech Over PHP 15 Million Investment Scam

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has recommended the filing of criminal charges against Opsytech Corp. and its executives for illegally soliciting investments from the public.

This action follows a complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the company’s unauthorised financial activities.

In a resolution dated November 21, 2025, state prosecutors found sufficient evidence to charge Opsytech President Carl F. Chao for violations of the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) in relation to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

The DOJ also implicated company agents Jeffrey Lopez Perez and Brent Bendaña for their involvement in the scheme.

The case stems from reports that Opsytech offered “business loan agreements” to the public to generate funds for capital expenditure.

Under this scheme, the company promised potential investors monthly returns ranging from 2% to 9% on a minimum investment of PHP 100,000, with a lock-in period of one year.

To guarantee these returns, Opsytech issued postdated cheques to lenders.

The scheme collapsed when the cheques were dishonoured by banks due to insufficient funds or closed accounts.

A total of 16 complainants invested approximately PHP 14.95 million in the group, claiming they only received payouts for a couple of months.

The DOJ ruled that the agreements were investment contracts requiring registration, which Opsytech failed to secure. Prosecutors stated,

The resolution concluded that the “concerted actions among respondents to deceive the public supports the existence of conspiracy”

Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth

The post Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Slate Classic Chocolate milk shake Slate A new slate of functional beverages is about to dominate the ready-to-drink shelf, ushering in a more modern era of easily incorporating more protein in our diets. Today, Slate Milk cofounders Manny Lubin and Josh Belinsky reveal the brand has raised a $23 million Series B funding round. Led by Foundership, a new fund by Yasso frozen greek yogurt cofounders Drew Harrington and Amanda Klane, the money will allow Slate to continue its momentum towards ubiquity as it hits 100,000 points of distribution across 20,000 stores nationwide by the end of 2025. Slate also reveals that it is rolling out several line extensions including a 20 gram protein Strawberry milk at Sprouts Farmers Market, a 30 gram protein Cookies & Cream milk at Target, and a 30 gram protein Salted Caramel flavor at Walmart and Albertsons banner stores. New “Ultra” 42 gram protein options in Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel will also be available in retailers across the country. “Stores where we may have just had our ready-to-drink lattes, now we’re adding our shakes, and vice versa. We’re adding new partners and executing deeper with our existing partners,” Lubin tells me. The impressive growth is due to Slate’s early entry into the high-protein product space slightly before it caught mainstream attention–ready to execute immediately once consumers craved it most. Slate’s macronutrient ratios are practically unbeatable, largely due to the utilization of ultra-filtered milk. It’s a protein drink that writes a new script about who protein drinks are for. “We’re not sons of dairy farmers. We had no milk history,” Lubin says “We’re just a couple of dudes from the burbs of Boston who like chocolate milk.” Slate cofounder Manny Lubin Slate Another Clean Slate Slate’s brand has evolved significantly in just the past six…
