The South Wales Argus, Newport's daily tabloid, points out that the computer engineer, James Howells, in 2013 accidentally disposed of a hard drive containing 7,500 BTC while cleaning his house as a result of mining activity when it was still possible to mine with the CPU.
The affected party introduced a new request to excavate the landfill where the garbage that contained the hard drive was disposed of and possibly recover the device.
Faced with successive rejections by the city council, the affected party now offers 25% of the lost Bitcoin value as a donation to the city. At the current price at the time of this writing, the BTC was worth $ 39,750, multiplied by 7,500 BTC, would give us an estimated value of $ 298,125,000, which would be about $ 74 million for the city if it recovers the hard drive successfully.
What do you think of Howell's story?
I feel identified because in 2011 I began to mine BTC, I did it for a few months, intermittently, but I already had a certain amount, after a while the hard drive was damaged and the keys were lost, so say that for lost, I am one of the many people who have lost BTC in this way.

I must make a correction in the amount of BTC, it is not 72,000, it is 7,500 BTC

this is really a huge amount bfor anyone that could get the hard drive ,but the problem is getting the hard drive , because most times if it's not disposed properly then the hard drive could get spoilt or crushed ,hopes it's found despite all odds , because the amount the person would loss would be much

At the current market price the loss has come down to 33% but it is still a great one and the price has 2000x rewards value he is offering only 1% if was to offer the service I would take at-least 25% of the value , No one would do such a thing even it was to find a lost Titanic in the ocean , he is underpaying here to be honest .
