This guy's hard drive with $500 million in bitcoin is lost at a dump, and local officials won't let him retrieve it

Well, supposedly when he bought or mined those bitcoins they were still worth nearly nothing and looked like an interesting mathematical pipedream.

And when he tossed the drive, they were already worth over $1 million. If I found out I had $1 million somewhere in the house, I’d probably look for it.
