A British IT engineer, James Howells, is taking legal action against Newport City Council for a staggering $647 million after he accidentally discarded a hard drive containing 8,000 $BTC during a household clearout in 2013. Despite numerous attempts to retrieve the drive from a local landfill, the council has consistently denied his requests, citing environmental concerns.
