CIA Reveals Lab Leak Main Cause of Covid-19 Pandemic
The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) now believes the Covid-19 pandemic is more likely to have originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China, than from a natural source. This view is a change from its previous position that both possibilities were equally valid.
The CIA spokesman said the assessment was based on available reports, although the level of confidence is still low. However, the agency remains open to changing its view if new information comes to light.
I read this in Uncle Scrooge Disney comic seriously similiar case.

James Howells lost 8,000 Bitcoins worth $716 million (£569 million) after his hard drive was dumped in a landfill in 2013. His ex-partner, Halfina Eddy-Evans, claims she dumped the hard drive at his request while clearing out old belongings.
Howells realised the Bitcoins’ huge value much later, when their value had skyrocketed compared to when they were mined in 2009. He had repeatedly asked Newport City Council for permission to excavate the site, but was refused, citing environmental risks and logistical challenges.
Howells even offered to fund his own work and donate to the council, but was repeatedly refused. As a result, he sued the council for £495 million in damages. The case highlights the importance of secure storage of crypto assets, including backup strategies to avoid losing digital assets.
