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.
Makes me remember the guy buying pizza for like 35.000 Bitcoins.
He was always so angry because people thought he only bought one (1) pizza, but it was actually several pizza.
He got over it and said he’d probably had cashed out at btc at 1 dollar and flamed it all.
