$BTC 🫡 BBC: The same Briton James Howells, who threw 8,000 BTC into a landfill, lost the court case over excavations.

A court in the UK rejected his claim in which he sought permission to excavate a landfill in Newport. Howells hoped to find a hard drive with bitcoins, which he accidentally threw away in 2013.

Recall that these 8,000 BTC, mined in 2009, ended up in a landfill because he confused the hard drive from a broken laptop.
