Could the worker from the landfill area had recover the disk and sold it already ?
If the wallet with all those bitcoin existed in his head I'm pretty sure he would be ecstatic and he wouldn't need to search the landfill.This guy needs to take a course on Mindfulness, and just learn to accept and let go. Living in the past is a
terrible place to be, and in the end the HDD w/ bitcoins on it only exists in his head, not the landfill.
That guy is like Elon Musk disregarding the risks others would be potentially exposed to for his own benefit.
