True Crypt.....what went wrong

1. Many of the so called data security,experts,sqore by the True Crypt to store their sensitive data safe by encrypting in a container.
2. Besides being user friendly and extensive help documents, it was reliable and has variety of options for encrypting data, be it selecring encryption algorithm, random key generation and option of hidden volume.
3. Therfore sudden announcement of True Crypt project being discontinued came as a shocking news.
4. Now the obvious question that comes to my mind is " was this one of the numerous Projects of US govt to snoop" and this was shut down once it achieved its aim.
5. This is just a hunch and food for thought.
