This is such a monkeys paw. You have a drive with $500 million USD of Bitcoin, but the drive is somewhere in the local landfill.
Such a curse, I can't imagine the regret they feel every day getting up for work.
After 10 years though, isn't it just gone/destroyed? Rain/corrosion would have destroyed the drive by now.

This feels similar to cyberpunk "I've been a corporation once, kids" stories, and something about gold rush.

I remember hearing about this guy years ago. He probably is now devoting 10 (?) years of his life (I did not look it up) searching for his lost bitcoin, but I have got the feeling, that he will never find them.
