Promising Signs of Life Detected on Distant Planet K2-18b

James Howells, a computer expert from South Wales, is considering purchasing a landfill site in Newport where he believes his hard drive containing a £600 million (approximately $740 million) Bitcoin wallet is buried. According to Howells, the hard drive was inadvertently discarded in 2013 when his partner mistook a black bag containing it for rubbish. After losing a court case last month seeking permission to search the landfill, Howells expressed surprise at the council's plan to close the site, which would jeopardize his search efforts.
“The council claimed that allowing me to search would have a negative impact on Newport, yet they are planning to close the landfill anyway,” he stated. Authorities, who plan to convert part of the land into a solar farm, have resisted Howells’ attempts to retrieve the hard drive, asserting it belongs to them once in the landfill. Judge Keyser KC upheld the council’s argument in court, denying Howells' claim to access the site. Newport city council declined to provide further comments on the matter.
