Man who lost drive containing $750+ million of Bitcoin in landfill wants to buy the site

64% Informative
James Howells has spent more than a decade trying to recover a hard drive containing more than $750 million worth of Bitcoin from a landfill.
He sued Newport , Wales , in October 2024 for the right to search the landfill or pay him $607 million in compensation.
A judge dismissed the case in January , saying there were no "reasonable grounds" for bringing the case and "no realistic prospect" of succeeding at a full trial.
Howells is now considering buying the landfill, which is due to be closed in the future.
