That's an uphill battle if ever there was one.

  1. it's not 100% sure the drive is even there
  2. even if he gets access, it will take literal years to comb over the entire landfill
  3. even IF he manages to actually find the drive, the contents might not be recoverable
  4. ultimate irony: the btc price might crash by the time he finally gets his hands on his wallet...
