SPECIAL - James Howells $1 Billion Bit Coin Hardrive Thrown out
We have talked about this story before but it was great to finally chat to James about it. A judge has thrown out a man's attempt to sue a council to recover from a rubbish tip a Bitcoin hard drive that is now worth about 1.3 billion NZD James Howells had argued that his former partner had mistakenly dumped the hard drive containing a Bitcoin wallet in 2013, and he wanted to access the site and recover the cryptocurrency. Newport City Council has now said the refuse site is coming to the end of its lifespan and will close in the next two years.
