UK engineer tries to buy landfill to recover £620 million in lost Bitcoin.

James Howells, a UK computer engineer, lost £620 million in Bitcoin when his ex-girlfriend threw out a hard drive with 8,000 bitcoins in 2013. He tried to sue the city council to access the landfill where the drive is buried or for compensation, but his case was dismissed. Howells is now considering buying the landfill, which is set to close for a solar farm, to search for his lost fortune.
