Crypto miner fights to retrieve $749M Bitcoin fortune 'accidentally thrown in landfill'
Briefly

This problem is never going to go away. This is always going to be a treasure hunt. The treasure is getting more and more valuable by the day, and that isn't going to stop.
Howells is so desperate to retrieve the hard drive he says he offered Newport City Council 25% of its value to spend on community projects in return for its cooperation.
Willing to sue for half a billion British pounds if he's not granted access for a search, Howells seeks the court's intervention in this matter.
With the price of Bitcoin sitting at an all-time high...the buried drive would potentially be worth more than $749 million.
