💥 THE MOST EXPENSIVE HARD DRIVE WITH BTC: 716 MILLION DOLLARS WENT TO THE DUMP

The story of James Howells, who lost a hard drive with 8000 bitcoins, has once again come to the forefront. His former partner Halfina Eddie-Evans stated that she threw away the device at his request, adding that she does not feel guilty for the loss.

In 2013, Howells accidentally sent the hard drive to the dump while getting rid of old equipment. At that time, bitcoin was worth less than $1, but today those coins are valued at $716 million. The hard drive still lies in the landfill in Newport, and attempts to find it have been met with refusals from the authorities.

⚖️ Howells offered to fund the excavation for $11 million and promised to give 10% of the found funds to the city, but the council rejected the initiative, citing environmental risks. In response, he filed a lawsuit for $647 million for refusing to allow searches.

This case serves as a reminder of the risks associated with storing cryptocurrencies. Reliable key management and backups are a necessity, as one mistake can cost a fortune. 🚨 $BTC
