A man searches for a wallet in a landfill
Back in 2013, a man got rid of his PC hard drive by tossing it into the trash. Unknowingly, this hard drive contained his virtual wallet that was filled with 7,500 Bitcoin. By the time he realized what he had done and began searching for the wallet, the value of the Bitcoin had risen to an impressive $150 million.
Now, he promises anyone who finds the wallet a large amount of money. The Council of Newport has refused to let volunteers enter the site. According to CNBC, since there is no certainty that the hard drive is even there, authorities have disallowed any search that would lead to ecological damage. A disappointing case.
