🇬🇧 UK Man Ends 12-Year Search for Hard Drive Containing $742 Million in Bitcoin
After more than a decade of searching, a British man who famously lost a hard drive containing 7,500 bitcoins—now worth approximately $742 million—has officially called off his efforts to recover it.
The hard drive was accidentally discarded in 2013 and believed to be buried in a landfill in Newport, Wales. Despite multiple proposals to excavate the site and recover the lost fortune, all attempts were denied or unsuccessful. Over the years, the story became one of the most well-known cautionary tales in cryptocurrency history.
Now, after 12 years of legal battles, technical challenges, and failed recovery plans, the search has come to a close—bringing a definitive end to one of crypto's most infamous mysteries.
