Comment on Man who threw away $750M in Bitcoin wants to buy the dump where it's buriedparent

There's companies that open them up in a clean room and magnetically image the disk. Not cheap, but I think worth it in this case.

It's not always successful though, making this a huge speculative case. That's even assuming it made it to the landfill and someone didn't pick it out first.

You would have to put a lot of trust in that company. To be honest, I mean.

but dumps produce corrosive fluids which would flood the hdd?
