🚨 🚨 Judge Halts £600m Bitcoin Recovery Attempt 💰 💰 💰
A judge has put an end to James Howells' decade-long legal battle to recover a £600m bitcoin fortune he believes is buried in a Welsh landfill.
The Lost Bitcoin $BTC Fortune
James Howells, a 39-year-old computer expert, claims that in 2013, he accidentally discarded a hard drive containing his bitcoin wallet.
His partner mistakenly took the drive to the dump, where it was lost. Over the years, Howells has fought to retrieve it, even offering to share the wealth with Newport City Council.
Legal Setback for Howells
Howells took the case to court, hoping to get permission to search the landfill. However, Judge Keyser KC ruled that his claim had "no realistic prospect of succeeding.
The judge agreed with the council's argument that it owned the hard drive once it entered the landfill and that searching the site would violate environmental permits.
Howells' Hopes for a Billion-Dollar Windfall
Howells speculated that the bitcoin $BTC on his hard drive could be worth over £1 billion by next year. Despite the setback, he has indicated that he may take his case to the Supreme Court, though for now, his efforts to recover the lost fortune have been thwarted.
