10-year-old mystery of missing Rs 5,900 crore Bitcoin solved, and why no one can be blamed for the big loss

James Howells’s ex-partner, Halfina Eddy-Evans, admitted to discarding a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins (worth Rs 5,900 crore) in a landfill in 2013. Unaware of its contents, she disposed of it at Howells’s request. He’s been searching the landfill since then and is suing the council for blocking access, while Eddy-Evans wants no part in the potential fortune.
