Remember when the original dev of TrueCrypt (the VeraCrypt predecessor) suddenly abandoned the project and wrote that people should use BitLocker instead? [1] [2]

We now know that BitLocker is not secure, and an intelligent open source dev saying that was probably knowingly not saying the truth.

The best explanation to me is that this was said under duress, because somebody wanted people to move away from the good TrueCrypt to something they could break.
