A lost Bitcoin hard drive, containing a fortune worth $669 million, holds slim prospects for recovery according to experts quoted by Odaily. The drive vanished into a UK landfill with a recovery rate estimated at just 0.00000011%, highlighting the almost impossible challenge faced by its owner. James Howells, a computer engineer from Newport, Wales, lost the Bitcoin wallet-holding drive in 2013 after it was accidentally thrown away by his then-wife. Now, he’s turning to legal avenues for a chance at recovering the lost funds or compensation from the local council who own the landfill. Howells is seeking either access to the site directly or monetary support of £495 million ($609 million) from Newport City Council.
