James Howells, who lost 8,000 Bitcoin after his girlfriend mistakenly threw away a hard drive containing the cryptocurrency, could have had $800 million if Bitcoin reached $100,000. He attended a Welsh court to plead his case and search for the lost Bitcoin in a landfill. The council argued that any disposed items in the landfill become council property and dismissed his offer to share the recovered funds. Howells' legal team argued for a carefully targeted excavation, supported by experts in data recovery and excavation. The council has consistently rejected his requests, and if denied, his story will be remembered as a historic Bitcoin misfortune.
