An IT engineer from Newport, England, James Howells, is suing the city council of Newport, England, for £495 million ($647 million) in damages after accidentally discarding a hard drive containing 8,000 bitcoins into a landfill site, Cointelegraph reported on October 12th.

The man is said to have made several attempts to retrieve the hard drive from a local landfill site, but was met with resistance from the city council, which repeatedly denied his requests to excavate the site.
