Man who lost bitcoin fortune in Welsh tip explores purchase of landfill
James Howells said he had accidentally put the hard drive containing his bitcoin wallet in a black bag, which his then partner mistook for rubbish and took to the dump in 2013.
A computer expert who has battled for a decade to recover a £600m (€720m) bitcoin fortune he believes is buried in a council dump in south Wales is considering buying the site so he can hunt for the missing fortune.
James Howells lost a high court case last month to force Newport city council to allow him to search the tip to retrieve a hard drive he says contains the bitcoins.
