Judge ends man’s 11-year quest to dig up landfill and recover $765M in bitcoin
- James Howells, 39, lost a legal battle to retrieve his Bitcoin worth £600m from a Newport landfill, as a judge at Cardiff High Court dismissed his claim today.
- The court found no reasonable grounds for Mr. Howells' legal action, stating there was no realistic prospect of success at trial.
- Howells had previously offered to donate 10% of any recovered Bitcoin to the local community, which the council's legal team labeled a bribe.
- Newport City Council expressed satisfaction with the court's decision, emphasizing that dealing with the claim had wasted valuable resources.
