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. That’s the peak value of his lost Bitcoin, lost on a hard drive that was discarded in August 2013. Howells’ then-partner accidentally threw the valuable hard drive away, at a time when the coins were trading for around $130.
