LOS ANGELES , June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Championship-winning Bren Esports CEO, Angel Investor, and multi-millionaire Bernard Chong officially announced he has been cleared of all criminal charges by The Special 17th Division of the Court of Appeals in Manilla, Philippines. Chong made national headlines when egregious allegations were made implicating him in a $33M drug smuggling attempt by Fortune Yield shipping company that proved unsuccessful upon seizure by authorities at the Manila International Container Port. The appellate court overturned the hasty decision of the Manila City Regional Trial Court (RTC) following Chong's filing of a Petition for Certiorari, which argued that the Manila court had either acted with grave abuse of discretion or lacked jurisdiction in its refusal to reverse the warrant and dismiss the criminal charges against him.
