A story about British James Howell, who threw away his hard drive containing 7500 BTC in 2013 and has since used every possible means to search for the hard drive, including using robot dogs and human robots. He has spent millions of dollars on the endeavor. James Howell is a perfect example of a modern nightmare.

What this guy is doing is crazy. But to believe that your money is somewhere out there is sadomasochism. He dug through a bunch of garbage, but he was left with nothing. I think he should have just felt sorry for his mental health.
Many of us have probably lost something in our lives that we deeply regret. It all depends on the person; someone will say "to hell with him" and live on, and someone else will spend their money on searching, getting into an even bigger ass.
By the way, everyone who wants to grieve can also start crying, since the knowledge that you could buy bitcoin at the very beginning is tantamount to losing James Howells.

This may sound crazy to anyone, but knowing you have $181m worth of BTC in some gabarge out there would drive anyone insane. However, James' case is quite different because he's fairly wealthy and could have simply moved on, but at this point I'm not sure he's after the money; instead, he's made it a life quest to keep himself occupied. He has already begun a $11 million search campaign.

Is it possible to recover this hard drive if he finds it? Or he'll spend millions more looking for engineers to make it work. What a man
