James Howells, an IT engineer from Newport, is suing the Newport City Council for £ 495 million (approximately $647 million) in damages for accidentally discarding a hard drive containing 8000 bitcoins. Howells made multiple attempts to retrieve the hard drive from the local landfill, but was obstructed by the municipal committee, which repeatedly refused his requests to excavate the site. In 2013, he accidentally threw away a hard drive containing Bitcoin during a home cleanup, which is now worth nearly 500 million pounds. @seung631 @eysag
