Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site

I've got a couple fractions sitting in a wallet I've had for ages that I just don't plan on selling at this point, maybe if it went to like $1m per coin or something stupid.
I'd written it off ages ago so seeing the price climb is interesting.

Now you have my attention. This dude could get lots of people to search for free in the promise they’d get some scraps. I know two homeless dudes on the corner that would do this

I have 3 dd dumps hanging out on my array waiting for a rainy day

Yeah but theres no way of knowing if its viable or not at this point, so the only known factor is the value of BTC and the cost of money spent searching for the drive. Even if it fails break even (cost > value) that changes over time.
-
If it's a hard drive with moving parts the chances of it still working are zero. Data recovery maybe possible if the platters are still somewhat intact but I doubt he'd even find it to begin with.

Enough money? It's three quarters of a billion... That's an unreasonably large amount.
-
Yeah.
I mean I didn't buy $15 in bitcoin 15 years ago (have never bought any, never will), and I'm not obsessed about it.
Is it really any different for this guy?
