That's a tough one. A lot of people come very close to it, including old friends and family members, but none of them are quite there for me. Some of my friends were there once, but not anymore.
I'd have to say I wouldn't vouch for anyone. It takes a lot to gain my trust. It's all about the power dynamic, I think. I have to either be submissive to them or they submissive to me, both to a significant degree. The former has never happened with anyone, the latter hardly ever and not powerfully enough.
But barring that, there are other forms of trust. You can manipulate people with certain tones of voices, make them not even hear/understand you, or make them not even question what you're saying or think about telling anyone else about it. It's a fine art, everyone does it, few ever recognise it for what it is.
