Satoshi himself proposed the first version of payment channels [1]. The Lightning Network paper has zero authors from Blockstream [2]. At least two other entirely independent companies are working on Lightning Network implementations [3][4]. It’s well understood how trustless LN transactions work [5]. The spec [6] and code are open source, feel free to look for a “backdoor”.
