Several bitcoin owners have lost vast fortunes due to mistakes such as losing private keys, discarding hard drives, or forgetting passwords. Notable cases include James Howells who threw away a hard drive with up to 8,000 BTC worth $578 million, and Stefan Thomas who has only two attempts left to unlock 7,002 BTC.
