I've read of commercial services that make it promise for this kind of request. However if the usb which contained the only set of private keys was formatted... maybe it was a low lvl format so don't use the USB for anything and see if you can run a recovery on it for lost files. Hopefully you can recover the key and save the data.. Otherwise I don't see it happening unless you have friends at the NSA
