Here's a quote from the article:
At the time he obliviously threw them away, the 7,500 Bitcoins on the hard-drive were worth around £500,000.
If they were worth 500,000 Euros at the time, why did he just randomly throw them away? Yes I believe his story, but still, what the heck?! Also, for him to have known about Bitcoin back in 2009, he should have an account here.
Anyone know who he is?
