Imagine losing a HUGE amount of money! That's what happened to James Howells. He thinks he accidentally threw away a hard drive with lots of Bitcoins, a type of digital money, in the trash! Each Bitcoin is like a special digital coin, and they can be worth a lot. He's trying to get them back.
- James lost a hard drive with thousands of Bitcoins in 2013.
- Those Bitcoins are now worth over £600 million!
- He wants to buy the landfill where the hard drive is, to search for it.
- A judge said it was unlikely he'd find them.
