Man's Quest for Lost Bitcoin Fortune in Landfill Faces New Setback
January 11, 2025 - 18:33
James Howells has been attempting to recover a hard drive that he believes contains a staggering $750 million worth of bitcoin, which he claims is buried in a landfill. For the past decade, Howells has been advocating for permission to excavate the site in Newport, Wales, where he discarded the hard drive nearly ten years ago. His efforts have hit several roadblocks, including environmental concerns and the potential costs associated with the excavation process.
Recently, Howells faced another setback as his latest proposal to access the landfill was rejected. Despite the significant amount of money at stake, local authorities have expressed concerns about the feasibility and environmental impact of digging through tons of waste. Howells remains determined, arguing that the potential rewards far outweigh the risks involved. He continues to seek support from the community and investors, hoping that one day he will be able to reclaim his lost digital treasure.
