James Howells is pursuing legal action against Newport City Council, seeking $647 million in damages. The dispute centers around the council's refusal to allow Howells to excavate a landfill site in search of a hard drive containing a significant amount of lost Bitcoin.
Despite extensive efforts and planning, Howells has been unable to gain permission from the council to conduct the necessary excavation, leading to the costly lawsuit.
The hard drive lost in the landfill is estimated to hold a substantial quantity of Bitcoin, driving Howells' determination to retrieve it and prompting the legal challenge.
