💸 $1 Billion Worth of Bitcoin Buried in a Landfill?! 🗑️🚀
$BTC

A bizarre legal battle is unfolding in the UK!

In 2013, James Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive containing $1 billion (£600M) worth of Bitcoin. 😱

💥 The twist? Howells wants to dig up the landfill to retrieve it, but the local council claims ownership of the landfill and has blocked his efforts.

Howells has filed a lawsuit demanding either permission to search the site or £495M ($620M) in compensation. The council argues that they're simply following the law and have no obligation to allow the search.

💡 Highlights:

Howells offered to donate 10% of the recovered Bitcoin to the community, but the council called it "a bribe."
His team insists it’s not like "finding a needle in a haystack" and that they have an expert-backed plan for the search.

The court has yet to decide. Will $1 billion worth of Bitcoin ever see the light of day again? 🌟

👇 What’s your take?

Should the search be allowed?
Or is this Howells' problem to bear?
