Welsh idiot James Howells, whose hard drive containing $800 million worth of Bitcoin has now been under a mountain of garbage for at least 11 years, now claims he has funding to simply buy the entire garbage dump site from the city of Newport to retrieve it, CNN reports.
“Am considering purchasing a landfill site. Funding secured,” Howells tweeted last week. He did not respond to a request for comment from CNN. It’s not clear why he didn’t just think of this over the decade-plus he’s been failing to get the city council to allow him to dig in the dump.
