Small Mistakes That Cost Millions To Fix

Big mistake from bitcoin – $148 million

A british man named James Howell found himself in a very annoying situation when he acquired 7,500 bitcoins when they were worth next to nothing. When he spilt coffee on his computer, he made sure all the important information was transferred on to his hard drive, but after a while realized he didn’t need the hard drive and threw it away.

When bitcoin took off, he realized his costly mistake and started searching junk yards for the hard drive. His local council banned him from searching and in total, he threw away $148 million.
