A woman has admitted to accidentally discarding the hard drive containing her ex-boyfriend James Howells’ lost Bitcoin fortune, now valued at Rs 5,900 crore (569 million pounds).

Halfina Eddy-Evans, the mother of Howells’ two teenage sons, revealed in an interview with the Daily Mail that nearly a decade ago, she took the computer hard drive to a landfill in Newport, Wales, as part of a cleanup at Howells’ request. “Yes, I threw away his rubbish. He asked me to,” she said.
