James Howells, a Welsh IT engineer who accidentally threw away a hard drive containing the private keys to 8,000 Bitcoin in 2013. This hard drive ended up in the Docksway landfill in Newport, Wales.
Howells has spent over a decade trying to get permission from the local council to excavate the site, as the fortune was estimated to be worth around $950 million as of mid-2025.
