What really happened to TrueCrypt back in 2014? Did anyone ever find out?

It was a widely used encryption tool, that was suddenly dropped with the message " not safe, use something else".

    If he received a national security letter that had an indication of the government possibly taking over the project and adding in their own back door, that would be a reason to say the software wasn’t safe (from future changes). If there wasn’t follow through then it would pass an audit.
