Microsoft has a free program (for Law Enforcement) called COFFEE which, among other things, bypasses Bitlocker full-disk encryption.

You can find the Torrent at Wikileaks: https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Microsoft_COFEE_%28Computer_Onlin...

I have come across COFFEE before, its just a forensic tool. It doesn't do anything more than what 3rd party tools can do. It looks like a toolkit put together for investigators. Do you have any source to support that it can decrypt/bypass Bitlocker encryption? I couldn't find any information online.
