https://protos.com/owner-of-8k-bitcoin-lost-in-landfill-threatens-to-bankrupt-local-council/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.

I think he should be given a chance at his luck you know. He has been on it for a very long time, although I consider it unhealthy, hygienically, but it might be his own shot at destiny, at least, he isn't imposing the bill on anyone to take care of.
The idea of tossing his hard drive laden with 7500 bitcoin was not an informed one, obviously, but who would have imagined that it'll be worth a fortune today. The city council should allow him do his unearthen process and give his luck a try.
