🚀 James Howells, the IT engineer who tossed 8,000 BTC into a landfill, is now suing Newport City Council for £495M! 🌍💰

Despite offering 10% of the treasure, the council says "No way, José!" citing environmental hazards. Howells has been on this quest for a decade, even proposing an $11M tech plan to dig through 110,000 tonnes of trash! 🤖

Bitcoin's value has skyrocketed from £1M in 2013 to nearly half a billion today. Talk about a costly clean-up!
