According to a report by Golden Finance, James Howells' appeal to retrieve 8000 Bitcoin private key hard drives from a UK landfill has been rejected again, stating that he will seek final relief through the International Bill of Human Rights. The Royal Court of Appeal has rejected my request. The unjust system in the UK is working again, "said the early Bitcoin holder, announcing that the next step will be to file a complaint with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
The British judge believed that the case had "no realistic prospect of success" and "no other convincing reasons" to support a hearing. Howells will argue in ECHR that the British court violated his property rights and fair trial rights, stating that "the British authorities wanted to cover up this matter, but I won't let them succeed." It is worth mentioning that these 8000 bitcoins, worth approximately $660 million at current prices, were accidentally discarded in a landfill by his former partner in 2013.
