Summary
James Howells lost 8,000 Bitcoins worth over £500 million when he accidentally threw away a hard drive containing his private key.
He has been trying to retrieve the hard drive from a Newport landfill for over a decade, but the council has refused to allow him access.
Howells is now suing the council for £495 million in damages.
This dude is a total grifter, he knows they would never find it and if they did it wouldn’t be readable, so he uses other peoples fear of missing out to fund his “fight” with the council
