Programmer accidentally throws away 7,500 bitcoins worth 5.1 billion! Infuriated, he guards the landfill for 11 years.

Among the many legendary stories of wealth created by Bitcoin, there is now another one: a British programmer purchased 7,500 bitcoins many years ago and stored its key on a hard drive.

If this were today, it would be enough to exchange for 5.1 billion RMB in cash.

However, this hard drive was thrown away by his girlfriend as trash.

To recover the hard drive, this programmer engaged in an 11-year struggle and lawsuit with the local government around a landfill.
