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

With this kind of user experience, it is important that we make decision on the means of storing our bitcoin by considering the safety first, in case of any physical challenge through water, fire or any other damage encountered with the storage devise of our asset, can we still have an alternative means to getting access back this these coins on the blockchain with the alternative storage made on the keys or not, we have to be more concerned about these and put them into consideration that our asset must have a storage back up for our private keys.
