RE: Man Threw $300Ml In Bitcoin Away 7 Years Ago
Imagine being this guy – 7 years ago he threw $300 million in BTC away and now wants to pay the city $70 million to dig-up ad search its landfill
Man Threw $300m Bitcoin Hard Disk In Bin: 7 Years On, He Wants It Back
“A British man is offering to give his city $70m if they let him search a landfill site for a discarded hard drive, which he claims has almost $300m worth of bitcoin stored on it.
James Howells from Newport in south Wales claims he mistakenly threw away the hard disk with 7,500 bitcoins on it, according to a report on the BBC. With Bitcoins currently worth around $38,000 each, that missing hard disk could be worth the best part of $300m.
There’s one major problem, however. He didn’t chuck out the drive last week, but seven years ago.”
This guy is making the rounds in the media but I think he needs to accept the fact he made the most costly decision of his life – the city isn’t looking like they’re going to allow him to dig as he won’t pay until he finds his stash – it’s like the proverbial needle in the haystack!
