BREAKING NEWS 🚨 🇬🇧 After 12 years of digging, pleading, and planning, James Howells — the man who accidentally discarded 7,500 BTC (~$742 million today) — has officially ended his search. 💔 🔙 In 2013, the former IT worker from Wales accidentally threw away a hard drive during a cleanup at his home. The device, now buried in a landfill in Newport, became one of the largest lost fortunes in the crypto world. Over the years: Proposed multi-million dollar excavation plans 💸 Offered a portion of the BTC to the local council 🏛️ Even brought in artificial intelligence, drones, and engineers to try to recover it 🤖🛩️ But after years of rejection from local authorities and no green light to dig, he is giving up — and that $742M? Probably lost forever. 📉 Another reminder: In crypto, one mistake can cost you everything. #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoNews #TrumpVsMusk #XRP #ETH $BTC $XRP $BTC
