If you had a busted hard drive containing an unsecured wallet with an unknown amount of BTC mined from a laptop in 2011, how would you trust anyone to do a real recovery job?

Lets also assume that despite getting into this situation, you are now competent enough with computers to have tried most if not all logical data recovery methods with no success

There are reputable recovery member of the community that charge a percentage of the bitcoin found
They don't scam because one theft would ruin their reputation and create legal drama
I think he charges like 20% though

Also a lot of core developers help for free
There was a story Andrew poelstra talked about how he helped an early miner recover coins stuck inside an old version of electrum
Reputation is the most important aspect of seeking help for recovery
