A bitcoin hard drive worth 7.16 billion US dollars was accidentally thrown away at the garbage dump, ex-girlfriend: He asked me to throw it away.
James Howells, a British man, "accidentally" threw a hard drive containing 8,000 bitcoins into a garbage dump, losing a fortune worth $716 million today. Recently, Howells' ex-girlfriend Halfina Eddy-Evans was interviewed and clarified that she threw away the hard drive at Howells' request, and stressed that "it's not my fault", which made people cry and laugh.
When 1 USD worth of Bitcoin, now big pump became 7.16 billion USD
According to reports, Howells mined 8,000 BTC in 2009, when each BTC was worth less than 1 USD. Then in 2013, while cleaning up old computer equipment during a major cleanup, he accidentally threw away the hard drive containing those 8,000 BTC.
Eddy-Evans, his ex-girlfriend, recently revealed in an interview: 'He asked me to take care of those 'useless things' at that time, so I threw away the hard drive.' With the significant surge in the price of Bitcoin, the value of this hard drive now exceeds $716 million, becoming the coveted 'garbage' for many people.
The dream of finding coins shattered as the garbage dump mining project was rejected multiple times
Since Howells realized the value of the hard drive, he actively applied to the Newport City Council to dig out the hard drive from the landfill, even promising to invest $11 million to dig out the hard drive and donate 10% of the money to the local community. However, the council considered it a fantasy to dig out the hard drive from 110,000 tons of garbage and has not approved it to this day. Howells could not accept the council's rejection, so he sued the council for approximately $647 million in damages, and the lawsuit is still ongoing.
"Cryptocurrency Security Course" worth $716 million
The self-custody risk of Cryptocurrency is very high, and a careless mistake can result in heavy losses. I believe no one wants to attend a $716 million Cryptocurrency security lesson. However, if readers find it troublesome to take care of cold and hot wallets or store mnemonic phrases, it is not a bad idea to spend some money to fly to Switzerland and try using a 'military-grade nuclear shelter' to secure your bitcoins.
(Still using a cold wallet? Military-grade "nuclear shelter" combined with MPC takes care of your Bitcoins)
