#CryptoCharts101 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

🇬🇧 After 12 years of digging, pleading, and planning, James Howells — the man who accidentally threw away 7,500 BTC (~$742 million today) — has officially ended his search. 💔

🔙 In 2013, the former IT worker from Wales mistakenly tossed a hard drive during a house clean-up. The device, now buried in a Newport landfill, became one of crypto’s biggest lost fortunes.

Over the years:

He pitched multi-million dollar excavation plans 💸

Offered a share of the BTC to the local council 🏛️

Even brought in AI, drones, and engineers to try and recover it 🤖🛩️

But after years of rejection from local authorities and no green light to dig, he's giving up — and that $742M? Likely gone forever.
