The poor guy who accidentally binned a hard drive containing what is now £600 million worth of Bitcoin twelve years ago is back in the news, considering whether to try buying the entire landfill site he believes it’s buried in.

It sounds like he’s no longer with his partner back then who ‘is said to have mistaken the bag for rubbish and taken it with her on a trip to the dump’.

He’s been unsuccessfully fighting his cause to be allowed to go and look for it for over a decade now. Each time the story comes up the Bitcoin is of course ‘worth’ more and more.
