a guy accidentally threw away $950 million in Bitcoin
spent 12 years trying to get it back
> in 2013, James Howells tossed a hard drive during a home cleanup it had the private keys to 8,000 $BTC
> he knew exactly where it was buried in a Newport landfill in Wales
> offered to fund the entire excavation himself
even offered the city 30% of the recovered funds
> the council said no every single time for 12 years
> he sued them for $620M in 2024 and the court dismissed it in January 2025
> 15 meters deep 200,000 tons of waste, the hard drive is still in there and nobody's ever going to dig it up
> now a documentary is being made about his story that's all he gets
$950 million gone forever
