Man Hunts for $660M in Landfill: UK Courts Say No, He Says Not So Fast! 😂

In a tale as old as time, a man’s trash is his treasure—or so James Howells hopes. This Brit, a pioneer in the Bitcoin game, lost a fortune in the dump. A decade’s worth of searching, and the courts say, “Nah, not today, son.” 🙄

James, with his 8,000 BTC now worth a hefty sum, got the cold shoulder from the UK Court of Appeals. Judge Nugee, with a straight face, said there’s no “real prospect of success.” But James? He’s not one to back down from a dig. 🕳️

Appeal request to the Royal Court of Appeal: refused

The Great British Injustice System strikes again…

The state always protects the state.

Next stop: ECHR

James took to the internet, calling the UK legal system an “injustice system.” He’s got his sights set on the European Convention on Human Rights now. Because, why not? It’s just a bit of property and fairness he’s after. 🤷‍♂️

The ECHR might not flip the UK courts’ decision, but a win could shake things up a bit. James is ready to file, and the clock’s ticking on that landfill. 🕰️

Those Bitcoins, worth a small fortune, are lounging in Newport’s Docksway landfill. But fear not, James is on the case. “The British establishment wants to sweep this under the carpet,” he says. “I won’t let them. It’s not going anywhere!”

James is a man on a mission, and no amount of “no” will deter him. The deadline looms, but he’s got a shovel and a dream. And maybe, just maybe, a whole lot of trash to sift through. 🗑️
