🗑️ The Half-A-Billion Dollar Landfill
A UK IT worker named James Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins while cleaning his office in 2013. Realizing his mistake as the value skyrocketed, he has spent over a decade trying to convince his local city council to let him excavate the local garbage dump. He even offered them a massive cut of the treasure just for the chance to dig it up.
