I think him lashing out at the city council and threatening to sue them doesn't make bitcoin look good. wherever his hard drive is, if it's in that trash dump i don't see how even a data recovery expert could get anything off of it. it's probably been crushed, cracked, corroded, etc. lost cause. his big mistake was throwing it away in the first place but that was his fault no one elses. he lost those bitcoin a long time ago. and they're not coming back.  Shocked
Again this guy? Again?! That hard disk is lost forever, it's now been 10 years, it could be under tons of trash of even completely destroyed. I don't understand how he can sue the city for not giving him the permit to do whatever he wants like he owns the place. It's just ridiculous what he is doing, just get over it, you will never get those bitcoins back, focus on your current life instead of being stuck in the past.
It's possible that someone pushed him not to give up on getting his hard drive containing Bitcoin at any cost, I'm not on the side of the city council but they can use all kinds of laws and regulations that apply in the city to fight the demands of the man who lost the hard drive. 10 years is quite a long time to be able to find the lost hard drive, especially if the city has an automated waste recycling facility then the chance of getting the hard drive back from the man is around 0.0009%
At this point it's clear that he's just trying to find a way to make some money because he knows he will never find that hard disk. Of course it's impossible to know if this is his idea or his lawyer's, anyway at first one could sympathize with his situation, now he's just being pathetic threatening to sue and bankrupt his own small town.
