Bitcoin worth $186m lost in landfill: how a software engineer plans to find his loot – The National
A software engineer from Wales who lost about $186.9 million in Bitcoin at a landfill site in 2013 has hatched a plan to recover it.
For the past nine years, James Howells has been attempting to locate the hard drive on which the Bitcoin was stored.
In 2009, Mr Howells was understood to be one of the first five people in the world to be running Bitcoin mining software and had 8,000 coins at a time when it was worth virtually nothing.
