This is a lesson to never throw away an old hard drive before making sure of what’s inside!🥵 💻

James Howells, a 35-year-old information technology engineer from Newport, Wales, told CNBC he had two identical laptop hard drives, but one of them contained a “private key” needed to access and spend his bitcoins, which he accidentally threw away

Even though he did his best to find the laptop, the local council denied the permission to search the landfill👎

Those 7,500 bitcoins, now are worth more than $280 million! We bet he regrets throwing it away now 🫠🥲
