Man sues council for £495m over a lost Bitcoin hard drive in landfill

I went through the hard drive stash of my media archive, which has a bunch of old drives in it (including some that I can’t even read), and my process with the ones I could was all the same: attach them to my disk salvage system, fire them up and see what data’s on them, and remove anything I wanted to save before wiping them and putting them in the “send over to the recycler” box. (along with notatng what I couldn’t read, what was damaged, etc.)
