So, you know that old saying, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? Well, James Howells is taking that to a whole new level. This guy lost 8,000 Bitcoin (BTC) back in 2013 when his ex-girlfriend threw away the hard drive. I mean, who hasn’t been there, right? 😂
Fast forward 12 years, and Howells is still trying to get his hands on that lost fortune. He’s been trying to get permission to search the Newport landfill, but the city council keeps shutting him down. I guess they’re not fans of his “digging through trash” plan. 🚮
Howells’ Hail Mary
Now, with the landfill set to close in 2025-26, Howells is thinking outside the box (or in this case, the trash can). He’s considering buying the entire landfill site. Because, why not? It’s not like he’s got anything better to do with his time. 🤷♂️
“The council planning on closing the landfill so soon is quite a surprise…” Yeah, no kidding. It’s like they’re trying to keep him from finding his lost Bitcoin or something. 🤑
The landfill site is a whopping 1.4 million tonnes of waste, but Howells is convinced his hard drive is buried in a relatively small area of 100,000 tonnes. I mean, it’s not like he’s looking for a needle in a haystack or anything. 🌳
“I would be potentially interested in purchasing the landfill site.” Yeah, I bet he would. I’d be interested in buying a winning lottery ticket too. 🎟️
Howells has already discussed this plan with his investment partners, because, of course, he’s got a team of people who are just dying to help him dig through trash. 🤝
Acquiring the site could give Howells the leverage he needs to finally find his lost Bitcoin. But let’s be real, it’s not like the city council is just going to roll over and let him do it. They’ve already denied his appeals multiple times, citing environmental concerns. Because, you know, digging through trash is bad for the environment. 🌎
Howells is also planning to appeal the recent court decision that went against him. Because, why not? It’s not like he’s got anything better to do with his time. 🕰️
“I lost, they won. Might appeal. See what happens.” Yeah, good luck with that. 🤞
Since 2013, Bitcoin has gone through the roof, and Howells’ lost fortune is now worth over £630 million ($782 million). I mean, that’s a lot of money. But hey, at least he’s got a good story to tell. 📚
“James Howells is destined to live with a nightmare that repeats itself every day…” Yeah, that’s pretty much the definition of a nightmare. 😳
So, will Howells finally find his lost Bitcoin? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, this guy’s got a lot of time on his hands. ⏰
