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.
一名威尔士 IT 工人声称不小心扔掉了一个装有 3.9 亿英镑(5.2 亿美元)比特币的硬盘,纽波特市议会拒绝了他挖掘当地垃圾填埋场取回硬盘的请求,他将出庭受审。
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.
这位 39 岁的男子于 2009 年成为早期的比特币矿工,在一次家庭清理期间错误地丢弃了硬盘后,他失去了对加密货币的访问权限。
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,他意识到自己已将包含比特币私钥的硬盘放入垃圾袋中,随后将其带到纽波特的回收中心,最后进入垃圾填埋场。
Despite Howell’s offers to cover the cost of the excavation, Newport City Council has repeatedly rejected the request, citing environmental concerns.
尽管豪厄尔提出支付挖掘费用,但纽波特市议会以环境问题为由多次拒绝了这一请求。
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.
该委员会表示,该垃圾填埋场过去因石棉、砷和甲烷含量过高而违反了环境许可,被认为太危险,无法在不损害周围地区的情况下进行挖掘。
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.
豪厄尔斯的法律团队认为,包括人工智能辅助搜索工具在内的现代技术可以安全地恢复硬盘。他们指出了其他成功的垃圾填埋场重建项目,声称挖掘甚至可以帮助纽波特的废物管理实践现代化。
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.
豪厄尔斯目前在一家建筑公司担任项目经理,他将于 12 月 12 日出庭。他希望迫使议会允许挖掘工作。
“I’m not giving up until the court tells me ‘no,'” he said.
“在法庭告诉我‘不’之前我不会放弃,”他说。
In response, Newport City Council has called the court claim “weak” and maintains that excavation is not feasible under their environmental permits.
作为回应,纽波特市议会称法院的主张“软弱”,并坚称根据其环境许可证进行挖掘是不可行的。
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.
该案件突显了豪厄尔对恢复和潜在财富的愿景与委员会对挖掘风险的环境和法律担忧之间日益紧张的关系。
It also highlights the difficulty of keeping digital assets safe and secure.
它还凸显了保证数字资产安全的难度。
