He’s Finally Let It Go.
After 12 years of searching through trash, legal battles, and shattered hope…
James Howells has officially given up looking for the hard drive he accidentally threw away — one holding 8,000 Bitcoins mined in 2009.

Today, it would be worth $950 million.
By 2030, it could reach over $8 BILLION.

He once planned robot dog excavations and high-tech searches. But Newport City Council said no — again and again.

And now?
He says: “If it was going to happen, it would’ve happened by now.”

One man’s mistake.
One of the most expensive accidents in digital history.
