A Wales man who accidentally threw out a hard drive with millions of pounds worth of bitcoin has offered to share his wealth with the city if he is allowed to search through a landfill for it.
James Howell, a 35-year-old IT worker in Newport, offered to give the city a portion of his bitcoin value if the city’s council allows him to search through the city’s landfill for a hard drive that reportedly has £230 million (approximately $300 million) worth of the digital currency, WalesOnline reported.
Howell has been asking the city’s council for eight years for permission to search the landfill, after he claimed he had accidentally discarded the drive in 2013, WalesOnline further reported. read more
Make an offer to the Bidens for a percentage, they’ll bite.
I always thought bitcoin was sketchy. After the election with all the data manipulation it looks even more sketchy.
And what happened to being able to edit posts?
Isn’t this the same moron who was down to a couple of password attempts to access his Bitcoin? Didn’t someone offer to figure out his password for 10% of the Bitcoin? Now it’s at a landfill?? I call bullshit.
I sold my 1 bitcoin at $3000, can I dig thru trading records and change it back to unsold? I’ll give you 25%.

I guess $300 million in value is the point at which rich bastards decide to actually check on their investments.
And the password is….password
How about maybe, someone hacked in and changed his password??? Ransom ware.
Rich – thanks. I stand corrected, it is now two morons. Sad as fuggg.
There are ways to securely store your passwords so you don’t lose them.
If you’ve got money riding on them it is worth doing even if it takes a little bit of effort.
“A Wales man”???
Who writes this drivel…
Wales Man, the new Florida Man.
How much will bitcoin be worth after an EMP?
I’ve been hoarding 4 Canadian quarters for a decade or two.
They’re kept in a vault.
And the combination is … uhh … the combination … uhh … dammmit!

My wife can’t remember the safe combo. I always threatened to have it tattooed in my butt crack, so she has to call the mortician and say, “Could you roll him over and get the number”.
No, she doesn’t find that funny.
“How much will bitcoin be worth after an EMP?”
Probably about the same as your bank and retirement accounts.
Has he tried hypnosis (with a trusted witness).
Easy come, easy go!
I’ve never understood Bitcoin. It’s too late for me to try.
Bitcoin would need to develop a fail-safe password capture for me to go near it .
Looking back, he realized he should have written down his account information somewhere.
Hey Deplorable, I think you may be on to something with the Bidens let the kid help you look for it, after all they do call him HUNTER!
