UK Court Denies James Howell’s Claim on £600M Bitcoin From Landfill
Judge dismisses James Howells' £600M Bitcoin landfill case over legal, environmental issues, ending a decade-long battle with Newport Council. UK court dismisses James Howells' bid to recover a landfill hard drive with 7,500 BTC, worth $739M, citing waste laws and permits.
Newport Council's environmental concerns block excavation of landfill holding $739M Bitcoin, court sides with legislation over recovery.
Howells’ 7,500 BTC remains inaccessible as court rules landfill ownership and waste laws outweigh his claim.
