MarkB452 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Officials won't let a man look for $135 million in bitcoin he threw away James Howells, an IT worker living in the United Kingdom, knows exactly where his misplaced 7,500 bitcoins are but the city council where he lives won't let him retrieve them. They say it's against the law. According to a report published in The Telegraph, Howells began mining bitcoin on his personal laptop in 2009. In 2013, though, "after I had stopped mining, the laptop I had used was broken into parts and sold on eBay," Howells tells The Telegraph. He kept the drive he used to collect the bitcoins, "so if bitcoin did become valuable one day, I would still have the coins I mined." But, while cleaning his home in 2013, he mistakenly put it into a waste bin at his local landfill site in Newport, South Wales, where it got buried. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/officials-wont-let-a-man-look-for-dollar135-million-in-bitcoin-he-threw-away/ar-BBH5d3F?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=iehp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there. I've never even heard the song, so it cannot possible get stuck in my head. I am just aware of it's existence because that sequence of numbers is just the funniest damn thing ever to old timers. It's like the movie Mean Girls. I am aware of the cultural references, but have never seen the movie. Edited January 5, 2018 by PleaseBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
