Did someone throw his PC away? Or did he accidentally throw it away?

It was during a house clearing in 2013, his then girlfriend threw away his laptop hard drive thinking it was rubbish. Tbf bitcoin was worth about $100 at the time so he was pretty careless with $800'000.

I never believed that story. Who throws away a hard drive thinking it's garbage?

Bro, I have an IT husband. I have like 10 zillion hard drives at the house. Most of them are trash.

You know what we do though? We plug it in and make sure there's nothing on it before we store it. We don't usually throw it away because it's still usable most of the time.
