The Daily Mail reports this.
The material says that investor James Hollwells lost this amount ten years ago when his girlfriend was cleaning and threw away the only storage media with information to access her Bitcoin wallet.
The assets on the drive are currently valued at almost one and a half billion pounds sterling (almost $2 billion US).
It is clarified that Howells had been trying for a long time to understand where the valuable carrier had gone, and realized that it was in a landfill in Newport.
Howells is currently trying to recover a storage device containing thousands of bitcoins. To do this, he must sort through tons of garbage, but the local administration posted guards at the landfill to prevent him from doing this. Local staff know what treasure is hidden under piles of waste in Newport.
