Woman Admits to Discarding Ex-Boyfriend's £569M Bitcoin Fortune in 2013, Now Worth $787M
Nov 25, 2024, 11:55 AM
Halfina Eddy-Evans has confessed that she unknowingly threw away a hard drive containing her ex-boyfriend James Howells' Bitcoin fortune, now valued at £569 million. The incident occurred in 2013 when Howells asked Eddy-Evans to discard the drive, unaware of its contents. The value of the lost Bitcoin has since increased significantly, with estimates now reaching $787 million. Howells is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Newport City Council, which has denied his requests to excavate the landfill where the hard drive is believed to be buried, citing environmental risks. The saga has been widely referred to as the $716 million Bitcoin Lost in Landfill.
