James Howells is trying to find a hard drive containing 8,000 bitcoins after accidentally dumping it in a landfill.
"The request for appeal has been refused. Justice has once again failed in the UK Supreme Court," Howells said in a statement on the 14th.

In documents released on the 13th, Judge Nugee denied James Howells' application, stating that "it is not likely to succeed. There are no other compelling reasons for the case to be heard."
Judge Nugee's ruling coincides with a January 9 dismissal by Superior Court Justice Andrew Keyser, who said Howells' case was not appealed to the full trial court.
Howells said he plans to take an international human rights action, citing the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as his next step.
"The last legal option is to appeal to the European Convention on Human Rights," he said in an interview with Cointelegraph, citing the fact that the UK High Court and the UK Court of Appeal have decided to enforce the Convention.
"The British vested interests want to bury this issue, but I will never allow that. This issue has taken time to resolve," he said.
"The European Convention on Human Rights cannot overturn decisions of UK courts, but if Howells wins, the UK courts could find that the law does not violate the Convention.
In that case, the court may have to reconsider whether the provisions of the agreement were interpreted in a manner consistent with the provisions of the agreement.
