@weekly.updates2025: James Howells, an IT specialist from Newport, Wales, accidentally threw away a hard drive in 2013 that had the private key to 8,000 Bitcoins. Today, that amount is worth about $950 million. For 12 years, he tried to get it back from a local landfill. He came up with high-tech search plans, offered to pay for the whole operation, and even thought about buying the landfill to look for it. But local officials and a British court said no. They pointed to environmental rules and stated that once something is dumped, it legally belongs to the landfill.
