UK man determined to dig through trash to find lost $500 million Bitcoin fortune

An intrepid IT engineer in the UK is digging through trash to find a lost hard drive with a discarded Bitcoin fortune on it. James Howells, based in Newport, Wales, is suing the local council over a claim of £495 million ($524 million) in damages.

Howells’ then-partner accidentally threw the valuable hard drive away, at a time when the coins were trading for around $130.
