James Howells, an IT engineer from Wales, has captured media attention with his tale of losing $750 million worth of Bitcoin when he threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC in 2013. A production company, Lebul, has secured the rights to his story, planning to create a multi-platform media venture including a docuseries and podcast. Despite ongoing legal challenges to excavate the landfill where the hard drive is thought to be buried, Howells is committed to finding it and has faced multiple court rulings against him. The production aims to highlight both his personal journey and broader themes like the environmental impact of landfills and digital ownership. Howells believes this documentary could shine a light on the issues surrounding the landfill and promote a global narrative on technology and reclamation.
