Ex-boyfriend’s hard drive full of bitcoins worth crores of rupees thrown in the garbage, now woman in deep trouble
In a shocking incident, a woman accidentally threw her ex-boyfriend James Howells’ hard drive filled with Bitcoin worth Rs 5,900 crore in the trash. This hard drive held the keys to 8,000 bitcoins earned in 2009, which are currently worth millions of dollars.
The woman’s name is Hafina Eddy-Evans, who put the hard drive in a garbage bag while cleaning and threw it in a garbage dumping ground in Newport, Wales. Eddy-Evans says that she did this at the behest of her ex-boyfriend James Howells, but she did not know that such a valuable thing was hidden in the bag.
Now that hard drive is buried under 100,000 tons of garbage, and the situation has become quite complicated for the woman. Losing such a large amount of Bitcoin in the trash is not only an economic loss, but has become an exciting and tragic story.
