The story of James Howells, a British engineer who lost access to 8,000 Bitcoin, is the foundation for a new docuseries that will capture global attention.
James Howells' Background
In 2013, James Howells, an early Bitcoin miner, accidentally lost access to his hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoin when his former partner discarded it. Today, this sum is valued at over $800 million.
Legal Consequences
Howells has repeatedly approached the court requesting permission to excavate the Newport landfill, but his claims have been dismissed due to environmental and property law concerns. Most recently, he lost a significant case in the Cardiff High Court and may seek to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Project Adaptation and Implementation
LEBUL has acquired the rights to this story and plans to create a multimedia project that will include a docuseries, a podcast, and a social media campaign. According to LEBUL President Reese Van Allen, the project represents a modern tech thriller with nearly a billion dollars at stake.
James Howells' story and his struggle to recover lost Bitcoin will soon be available to a wider audience through the new docuseries.
