- A UK judge ruled against a man who was hoping to retrieve a Bitcoin-laden hard drive from a city dump. That wallet today, the owner says, is worth nearly $750 million and could be worth $1 billion next year. The city, though, says the hard drive is now its property.
For the past 12 years, James Howells has been trying to get officials in the British city of Newport to let him explore the city landfill in hopes of finding an old hard drive that he says contains nearly $750 million worth of Bitcoin.
