A Welsh IT worker who claims to have accidentally thrown away a hard drive containing £390 million ($520 million) in Bitcoin is set to appear in court after Newport City Council rejected his request to dig up the local landfill to retrieve it.
一名威爾斯IT 工人聲稱不小心扔掉了一個裝有3.9 億英鎊(5.2 億美元)比特幣的硬碟,紐波特市議會拒絕了他挖掘當地垃圾掩埋場取回硬碟的請求,他將出庭受審。
The 39-year-old, who became an early Bitcoin miner in 2009, lost access to his cryptocurrency after mistakenly disposing of the drive during a household clearout.
這位 39 歲的男子於 2009 年成為早期的比特幣礦工,在一次家庭清理期間錯誤地丟棄了硬碟後,他失去了對加密貨幣的存取權。
In August 2013, he realized he had placed the hard drive — containing the private key to his Bitcoin — in a bin bag, which was subsequently taken to Newport’s recycling center and ended up in the landfill.
2013 年 8 月,他意識到自己已將包含比特幣私鑰的硬碟放入垃圾袋中,隨後將其帶到紐波特的回收中心,最後進入垃圾掩埋場。
Despite Howell’s offers to cover the cost of the excavation, Newport City Council has repeatedly rejected the request, citing environmental concerns.
儘管豪厄爾提出支付挖掘費用,但紐波特市議會以環境問題為由多次拒絕了這項請求。
The landfill, which has breached environmental permits in the past due to high levels of asbestos, arsenic, and methane, is considered too dangerous to excavate without harming the surrounding area, according to the council.
該委員會表示,該垃圾掩埋場過去因石棉、砷和甲烷含量過高而違反了環境許可,被認為太危險,無法在不損害周圍地區的情況下進行挖掘。
Howells’ legal team argues that modern technology, including AI-assisted search tools, could recover the hard drive safely. They point to other successful landfill redevelopment projects, asserting that the excavation could even help modernize Newport’s waste management practices.
豪厄爾斯的法律團隊認為,包括人工智慧輔助搜尋工具在內的現代技術可以安全地恢復硬碟。他們指出了其他成功的垃圾掩埋場重建項目,聲稱挖掘甚至可以幫助紐波特的廢棄物管理實踐現代化。
Howells, who now works as a project manager for a construction firm, is set to appear in court on December 12. He hopes to compel the council to allow the dig.
豪厄爾斯目前在一家建築公司擔任專案經理,他將於 12 月 12 日出庭。
“I’m not giving up until the court tells me ‘no,'” he said.
「在法庭告訴我『不』之前我不會放棄,」他說。
In response, Newport City Council has called the court claim “weak” and maintains that excavation is not feasible under their environmental permits.
作為回應,紐波特市議會稱法院的主張“軟弱”,並堅稱根據其環境許可證進行挖掘是不可行的。
The case highlights a growing tension between Howell’s vision of recovery and potential wealth and the council’s environmental and legal concerns over the risks of the excavation.
該案件突顯了豪厄爾對恢復和潛在財富的願景與委員會對挖掘風險的環境和法律擔憂之間日益緊張的關係。
It also highlights the difficulty of keeping digital assets safe and secure.
它也凸顯了保證數位資產安全的難度。
