Isn't 50k a bargain for what could potentially be in those files? Maybe they looked it up and there wasn't anything interesting but then why take the risk for this kind of money? Something doesn't make sense.
The data has been stolen by a criminal group. Paying for "restoring" the data does not guarantee they will delete all copies.
