Re: Not worth the font.
Are you sure that they are decrypting the drive as both mention needing the recovery key?
From the first website http://www.datarecoveryspecialists.co.uk/blog/slaving-bitlocker-encrypted-drives
"Enter your recovery key and ‘hey presto’ all the data on the encrypted data volume will be recovered."
From https://www.m3datarecovery.com/bitlocker-decryption/
"as long as we provide the password or 48-digit recovery key."
