Man Raises $11m to Find 8000 Lost Bitcoin
Somewhere in a Gigantic Landfill in Wales
Back in 2009, James Howell threw away a disk containing 8000 Bitcoins in a garbage bag.
Ever since $181 Million has been hiding somewhere within a huge landfill in Newport in southern Wales. It was worth over half a billion at the top of the bull market.
Howell’s unfortunate ‘Honey, can you put the bin outside, please?’, has become known as one of the biggest individual Bitcoin losses in history.
He never gave up dreaming about finding the disk.
And now he’s got a master plan, two investors, and the latest technology. The last hurdle to take is stubborn local authorities.
