Man Considering Buying Landfill Where He Lost Bitcoin Fortune

The council anticipates a potential loss of almost £1 million due to the closure of the landfill site, with projections of £777,000 for the upcoming year and £198,000 for the subsequent year. The landfill site has been entangled in a legal dispute concerning a hard drive containing Bitcoin, which was ultimately dismissed by a judge. Set for closure in the 2025/26 fiscal year, the council has secured approval to develop a solar farm on the land. James Howells, who suspects his missing hard drive is buried at the site, was taken aback by the closure and is contemplating acquiring the property.
