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".

It was forked to veracrypt from memory. And LUKS was already widely available on Linux as alternative.
This is not really the question though. It was forked BECAUSE of the whole “fiasco”. OP is asking what happened, as in, what made the dev give up on the project. This was a big topic back then.
