英國男子的競標獲得許可證搜索垃圾填埋場的丟失比特幣硬盤被拒絕

一名英國男子的競標要求獲得垃圾填埋場的硬盤驅動器（將私人鑰匙拿到8,000比特幣）被英國上訴法院拒絕。

A UK man’s bid to obtain permit to search a landfill for his hard drive—holding private keys to 8,000 Bitcoin (BTC)—has been rejected by the UK Court of Appeals.

一名英國男子願意獲得垃圾填埋場的硬盤驅動器的許可證（持有8,000比特幣（BTC）的私人鑰匙）被英國上訴法院拒絕了。

"Appeal request to the Royal Court of Appeal: refused," Howells said in a March 14 X post. "The Great British Injustice System strikes again … The state always protects the state," the early Bitcoin adopter added before revealing his "next stop" would be the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

豪威爾斯在3月14日X帖子中說：“向皇家上訴法院提出上訴請求：拒絕。”早期的比特幣採用者在揭示他的“下一站”之前補充說：“偉大的英國不公正制度再次襲擊……國家總是保護國家。”

UK Royal Court of Appeal Judge Christopher Nugee knocked back Howells’ application, stating that there was no “real prospect of success” and there was “no other compelling reason” as to why it should be heard, according to a March 13 filing shared with Cointelegraph.

英國皇家上訴法院法官克里斯托弗·恩格（Christopher Nugee）擊敗了豪威爾斯（Howells）的申請，並指出，沒有“真正的成功前景”，並且根據3月13日與Cointelegraph共享的文件，關於為什麼應該聽到的“沒有其他令人信服的理由”。

Nugee’s decision follows an earlier dismissal on Jan. 9 from High Court Judge Andrew Keyser, who similarly said there was “no realistic prospect” of Howells’s case succeeding at a full trial.

Nugee的決定是在1月9日對高等法院法官安德魯·基瑟（Andrew Keyser）的較早解僱之後，他同樣說，豪威爾斯（Howells）在全面審判中取得成功的“沒有現實的前景”。

In a note to Cointelegraph, Howell said his “last legal option” to exhaust is at the ECHR—where he will claim that the UK High Court and UK Court of Appeal breached his right to property and right to a fair trial under Article 1 of Protocol 1 and Article 6 of the ECHR.

在《 Cointelegraph》的一份說明中，豪威爾說，他對排氣的“最後法律選擇”是在ECHR上，他將聲稱英國高等法院和英國上訴法院違反了其財產權，並根據《協議1》第1條和ECHR第6條的第1條進行了公正審判權。

The ECHR cannot overrule a UK court decision—however, a verdict in Howells’ favor would call on the UK courts to consider whether its legislation was interpreted in a way that is compatible with the ECHR’s provisions.

ECHR不能推翻英國法院的裁決，而霍威爾斯（Howells）對霍威爾斯（Howells）的支持的判決將呼籲英國法院考慮是否以與ECHR的規定兼容的方式來解釋其立法。

In a separate statement shared with Cointelegraph, Howells said he would be filing a claim to the ECHR in the “coming weeks.”

在與Cointelegraph分享的另一份聲明中，豪威爾斯說，他將在“未來幾週”中向ECHR提出索賠。

The court filings follow repeated rejections from the Newport City Council allowing Howells to search through the Docksway landfill—where Howells’s former partner disposed of a bag containing the hard drive at the site in 2013.

法院文件遵循紐波特市議會的一再拒絕，允許豪威爾斯搜索迪克斯威垃圾填埋場，霍威爾的前合夥人在2013年在該地點處置了裝有硬盤驅動器的袋子。

The council previously stated that it would not grant permission for the search as it had no legal obligation to do so and it would be "excessive" to allow members of the public to sift through the vast amounts of rubbish collected over the past 10 years.

該理事會先前表示，它不會允許搜查，因為它沒有法律義務這樣做，並且允許公眾成員在過去10年中收集的大量垃圾中篩選大量的垃圾是“過多的”。

Howells’s 8,000 BTC is worth around $660 million at current prices.

豪威爾斯（Howells）的8,000 BTC的價值約為6.6億美元，目前價格為6.6億美元。

While few predicted Bitcoin would reach such heights back then, Howells’s incident highlights the importance of properly securing self-custodied crypto funds.

儘管很少有預測的比特幣能達到當時的高度，但豪威爾斯的事件突顯了正確固定自我養成的加密基金的重要性。

Howells is also running out of time, as the Docksway landfill is set to close sometime during the UK’s 2025–2026 financial year, according to BBC News.

據英國廣播公司新聞報導，豪威爾斯的時間也沒有時間，因為據英國廣播公司新聞報導，迪克斯威垃圾填埋場將在英國2025-2026財政年度的某個時候關閉。
