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".

And LUKS was already widely available on Linux as alternative.

Yeah, I found LUKS and LVM to be more intuitive for creating encrypted partitions, and had that on my daily driver by around 2009 or so, so I never really felt the need to try Truecrypt.
