What if it was 800,000,000 x $1 bills. Paper too is worthless.

He is retarded. The dump knows it is now worth at least $800 million
Well, no. If it's fake or the hard drive is destroyed, it's worth whatever it was before. If anything, making people believe there is a treasure trove of $800M lying around is probably the plan. It all depends on driving the story as much and as long as possible to make people believe it's true.
Either that or he is an actual idiot.

Plot twist, the whole story is made up by the owner of the dump and one of his friends, with the purpose of selling the dump at a much higher price than market value.
Anyone who's been dealing with crypto and isn't a complete tech illiterate should understand that it would be impossible to recover anything from a disk thrown at the dump several years ago, assuming they can even find it.

Yep. That would also explain it, and make the plan quite feasible. If they are friends, they could play the game that the dump owner just happens to consider selling it to someone else, but "only" for $100M or less. And some rich idiot could show up and really buy it.
And then they can laugh about how they sold literal garbage for $100M as a scam.

The story is very old too, I remember first hearing it back in 2012 when Bitcoin had only been around for a few years, and the market value were no more than a couple of hundred bucks.
Already back then this mysterious man who for some reason threw away his PC with the only backup of his wallet, wanted to search for it at the dump.
Heck this story likely has several copycats too because the original I think was somewhere in England, but there's been similar stories in several other countries too. Dump owners will try anything to sell their worthless land before the government shows up and force them to clean up the pollution.

At least if he threw out a bag of diamonds or hold bricks he'd have a chance of recovery. The fist step of garbage removal is crushing it, the next is burying it in wet mud. The hard drive will not survive either
This is the main issue, no way even the best data recovery companies could extract anything. Even if he does find what's left of the drive.
100%. If it was not crushed then the bag it was in was and subsequently all fluids, acids, debris, etc will either damage it or have done so already. Of course our modern idiot world, he will land a 20M$ deal to film his journey for Netflix and come out ahead any ways.
diamonds don't have much resale value, their entire premise is artificial scarcity
try selling a diamond ring !
