Judge denies bid to recover £600m bitcoin wallet from Welsh landfill

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • A **judge** has ruled against James Howells's legal attempt to recover a **£600m bitcoin** wallet from a landfill in Newport.
  • The **High Court judge**, Keyser KC, stated that Howells's claim had **"no realistic prospect of succeeding."**
  • Howells accidentally disposed of the hard drive containing his bitcoins in **2013**, leading to his decade-long pursuit.
  • Judge Keyser supported the council's argument that they owned the hard drive once it was **disposed of** at the dump.
  • Howells's legal representation argued for a **targeted excavation**, while the council cited environmental permits forbidding such actions.
