James Howells, an IT engineer from Newport, Wales, is fighting a high-stakes legal battle to recover a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins. The Bitcoins are from the early days of the cryptocurrency market and have been blocked from access by Newport City Council due to environmental permits.

Howells said the legal process is ongoing, supported by a world-class legal team and AI technology trained under UK law. If successful, he plans to contribute to the crypto community and reinvest in blockchain projects.
