A judge has dismissed James Howells’ legal attempt to recover a Bitcoin hard drive worth approximately £598 million from a Newport landfill. Howells claimed his ex-partner mistakenly discarded the hard drive in 2013 and sought either access to the site or £495 million in compensation. The judge ruled there were no reasonable grounds for the claim, leaving Howells feeling unjustly treated. He argued he had been in dialogue with the council for over a decade regarding the recovery efforts.
