A UK court has denied James Howells' attempt to recover a hard drive containing approximately $770 million in Bitcoin, ruling there were no reasonable grounds for his lawsuit against Newport council. Howells claimed the hard drive was accidentally discarded in 2013 and sought access to the landfill site, but the judge found no realistic prospect for success in a full trial. This case highlights the complexities surrounding digital asset ownership and legal property rights in the cryptocurrency space.
