According to Foresight News, software engineer James Howells has shared a screenshot of the final ruling from the UK Court of Appeal, which prohibits him from searching a landfill where he believes a hard drive containing over 8,000 bitcoins, valued at approximately $680 million, was discarded. Howells mined these bitcoins in 2009 but mistakenly disposed of the hard drive in 2013. Since then, he has been engaged in a lengthy legal battle to gain access to the landfill.
