This guy not only didn’t find his bitcoins, but now other people will make more money off of his story than he has. Oof.
And still searching to this day and trying to buy the whole landfill: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli
hes desperate for that 800+million, he will spend the rest of his life doing it. if it buried under tons of trash, he will never find it.
I would hope he finds it several years from now and it’s unrecoverable, just because that would be funny. But I don’t actually hope that as I have seen nothing that says he deserves that. It was already kinda sad when he started looking, now it’s just depressing.
That would indeed be funny. So he can just move on with his life and move on.
I heard he was abusive to his girlfriend or something. I hope he burns.
he couldve capatilize on this, and sold the game himself.
I laughed at this far more than I should have.
I wonder if he found his wallet in the game?
I believe he’s still out there digging to this day
He actually tried to buy up the whole landfill so he can continue to search. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli
its probably damaged beyond repair, if it got wet, or chemicals got into the drive, assuming its there. plus decaying trash creates a ton of HEAT.
Jokes on him, a time traveller beat him off to it
Bummer.
You can still buy bitcoin though, just wait for the next dip and get right in.
To the core! Diamond hands! Don’t buy until it is pennies so you make a fortune in the upswing!
