Imagine accidentally throwing away a hard drive holding 8,000 $BTC —worth a staggering $765 million today! That’s the unfortunate reality for Wales's IT specialist James Howells. For over 11 years, he’s been battling to get permission to dig through a landfill where he believes his lost fortune lies. But once again, the UK Court of Appeals has slammed the door on his hopes.
Why Was He Denied?
Local authorities argue that allowing the excavation could cause significant environmental harm and come with many legal issues. On the other hand, Howells insists it’s a huge injustice, and he’s now turning to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) as his last-ditch effort.
What’s Next?
Will the ECHR come to his rescue and grant him the chance to search? Or is this treasure hunt officially over for good? 🤯
Should he be allowed to search for his Bitcoin? Let me know your thoughts below! ⬇️
