Is there any chance that Microsoft's disk encryption doesn't have an NSA backdoor?

Chances are that Microsoft disk encryption implementation is so bad, that an explicit NSA backdoor is not necessary.

If it does, there's zero chance that Microsoft know about it. When your company is worth $2,427,000,000,000 , you'd have to be insane to risk it all like that.

Trillion dollar US corporations are still under US law, which does include security requests and gag orders from secret services.
