$7.5M in Bitcoins Lost on Hard Drive in Landfill

An IT worker threw out a computer hard drive without realizing it contained $7.5 million worth of the digital currency Bitcoin. The device is now buried somewhere in a vast landfill site near the home of owner James Howells -- who only realized his mistake when it was too late. "It is soul destroying to be honest," Howells said. "I haven't had much sleep over the past few days. Every second of the day I am thinking about what could have been."
