If you had 7002 Bitcoin locked on an encrypted USB that would erase the contents after too many failed attempts, would you make a deal with a team of hackers to try and crack it or would you hold that worthless yet priceless device and hope that something comes along in the future that could unlock it?

If they are so sure they can access it I'd sell them the USB drive for 3501 ₿

You'd need to be sure they wouldn't just take it all back

No, you ask them for the money upfront and sell the USB to them. They are 100% sure they can retrieve the funds, so it should be a no-brainer for them if so.
