Man’s been selling this story for at least 3 years.
This arsehole lost his whole family chasing his golden goose. What a prat.
Oh, and to try and sell the council on his plan to dig up the entire landfill, he offered to use some of the money to build a school. A school that teaches kids how to invest in crypto…
What this guy apparently doesn’t seem to realise, is that a landfill isn’t just filled with rubbish. Animal waste gets sent there too. His hard drive could literally be buried in a ton of dog muck.
I actually had to look it up. Omnivores, with around 10% meat in the wild, protein supplements in farming.
I’m sure he realizes that. Why wouldn’t he?
He simply values the chance to find that money more than the disgust of going through trash
This has been going on for years. Every time his story is in the media, he brushes the health aspect aside. The council has brought it up repeatedly, but he either doesn’t understand, or doesn’t care.
By the time he finds it, he will be able to afford a Mars bar and maybe a can of pop to go with it.
No way that hard disk is going to be recoverable after 10 years unpowered.
