    Welsh guy accidently throws away £4.6m in bitcoins.

    This Welsh guy bought 7500 bitcoins back when they were worth virtually nothing but now that bitcoins are worth over $1000 each those bitcoins would now be worth the $7.5 million. Sadly, the man seems to have accidentally thrown away the old hard drive because he forgot he had the bit coins on it!

    Reportedly the man is now combing the local landfill hoping to find his old hard drive so he can reclaim his $7.5 million fortune.

    I saw this yesterday right after someone made reference to bitcoins over pokerstars. That had to hurt.

      It does make you wonder why he'd go public though. You can almost guarantee the landfill will now be filled with scavengers. I sense an epic troll.

        You read the article and saw the landfill, and grows every day? That's why he blew it off. Little chance of finding.

            Probably.

            It would explain why he hasn't been posting lately. He's digging through trash at the local landfill hoping to find his old hard drive.

                I whole heartedly agree.

                          That doesn't make sense considering the title of this thread...

                          I saw this and it made me laugh. I reckon it's a hoax though...
                          Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

                              Maybe I am the guy and I made the whole story up...
