This will play out like a Black Mirror episode. I’m calling it. The day he finds that drive is the day before bitcoin crashes and is worth $4.35 per coin.

Episode Title: "Dumpster Fire"

Premise: A man finds an old hard drive in a landfill containing nearly $800 million worth of Bitcoin. As he tries to uncover the identity of its rightful owner, he becomes entangled in a dark web of corporate espionage, government corruption, and the true cost of cryptocurrency speculation.

Plot:

James Howells, desperate to retrieve his lost fortune, hires a team of digital forensics experts to locate the hard drive. They eventually track it down to the same Welsh landfill where James first discarded it all those years ago.

As they begin to dig, James's obsession with regaining his fortune grows, and he becomes fixated on the idea that the hard drive is the key to his comeback. He convinces himself that the person who buried the drive must be a wealthy individual with a grudge against him.

However, as the digging progresses, James discovers that the hard drive contains not only Bitcoin but also a trove of incriminating documents about corporate malfeasance, tax evasion, and other nefarious activities. The person who buried the drive is revealed to be a high-ranking executive at a multinational tech firm, hiding evidence of their company's involvement in illicit cryptocurrency mining operations.

As James delves deeper into the mystery, he realizes that his actions have attracted unwanted attention from powerful forces seeking to keep the truth buried. He becomes trapped in a cat-and-mouse game with corporate agents and government agents trying to silence him.
