    Man wants to buy landfill he believes his lost bitcoin fortune is buried in

    Man wants to buy landfill he believes his lost bitcoin fortune is buried in

     A computer engineer who believes his Bitcoin hard drive worth nearly £600m is buried in a landfill is now considering buying the entire site to find it.

    James Howells says his former partner had mistakenly dumped the hard drive in 2013, only for it to increase in value to be now worth an estimated £598m.

    He has battled for a decade to recover the cryptocurrency from the landfill in Newport, Wales. But last month a High Court judge threw out his case against the local council to allow him to access the site or receive £495m in compensation.
