After a decade-long battle, #JamesHowells has officially abandoned his quest to recover a hard drive buried in a Newport landfill, containing approximately 8,000 ₿ $BTC (worth $900M+ today), lost in 2013.
He proposed detailed excavation plans, offered funding, and even suggested profit-sharing with local authorities. But after a court ruled the recovery effort legally unviable, Howells has accepted defeat.
A stark reminder: in the world of digital assets, what’s lost can be lost forever—and fortunes can vanish in an instant.
