I have many friends/colleagues who live next to Walley's Quarry which keeps making the News, it's horrid 24/7.
We even get the smell at the hospital about 3 miles away.

A friend lived not far from a chicken farm. It stank terribly when the wind was blowing a certain way.
He quite often had to shut all his windows, even in the height of summer.

The annoying bit is. Even though his claim is probably baseless the council have to counter it. If he were to take them to court it could end up costing them millions and has already probably cost thousands.

He's assembled a team of landfill specialists, data recovery people, investors etc.. it's not like he's just proposing that he turns up with some mates and a bit of equipment and make a big mess, it does seem to have taken some serious planning:
I believe him, I've read his stories from the beginning.
I also don't get why people say he should sue his ex?
She was just doing the normal jobs of taking stuff to the tip etc and he doesn't blame her.
I do, loads of them over the decades, I just got rid of quite a lot of HDDs, SSDs and phones but I said above, I hit them with a 14lb sledgehammer first.
Yet if he doesn't find it in a sensible amount of time the investors will bounce and the council will be stuck with his mess.
Though it be very funny if he did find it only to discover that it's been wiped due to sitting next to a magnet.

Or he digs up the wrong hard drive and discovers a functioning copy of OS2 warp.
Thanks for that, so there's people there who have done this before on a much larger scale.
or he finds it and can't remember his keyphrase to move them.

But no issues with him suing the council who have done nothing wrong IMO.

'Buy bitcoin', they said. 'It's the most secure currency in the world!', they said. 'No need to worry about theft!', they said. 'Safer than cash or a bank!', they said.
No, it's not time-limited, he's intending to sort the entire section, giving up because they've only sorted say half would be silly. And again this isn't some guy and his mates, they have a specific section of the landfill to excavate, they know how much of the landfill they will need to process, if they don't find it then the investors will have lost the capital they put up to try and search it all, or indeed they lose their capital if they find it and it's unrecoverable.
It's a simple objection to deal with too, if that were the council's concerns they have them put up the cash in advance with budget for putting everything back.

He didn't even school at the right place, oh calamity.
Well the council seems unconvinced by this great treasure so I guess he'll just have to keep whining.
Did it come with warnings not to throw all your details away?

No, I think they foolishly assumed their consumer base would be smart enough not to do that.
Here's a couple of questions:
1) In my Coinbase I had £1.27 two months ago and it is now on £1.89 which is massive increase but if let's say we called it £189,000 how would I turn that into pounds in my normal bank?
2) If I go in my Coinbase on my APP or on my PC I can get my bitcoin from anywhere, how is this blokes Bitcoin on his drive or does he mean his passwords are on the drive?

They've dismissed it from the start, that doesn't really say much in itself about the plausibility of his current proposal so much as it's likely just a general policy that they don't want people searching in landfills/don't want to set a president.
