Steven Barnhart (@stevebarnhart) wrote to an eMail address he had used before 
and received several replies from “David.” The following snippets were taken 
from a twitter conversation which then took place between Steven Barnhart 
(@stevebarnhart) and Matthew Green (@matthew_d_green):

    TrueCrypt Developer “David”: “We were happy with the audit, it didn't 
spark anything. We worked hard on this for 10 years, nothing lasts forever.”

    Steven Barnhart (Paraphrasing): Developer “personally” feels that fork is 
harmful: “The source is still available as a reference though.”

    Steven Barnhart: “I asked and it was clear from the reply that "he" 
believes forking's harmful because only they are really familiar w/code.”

    Steven Barnhart: “Also said no government contact except one time 
inquiring about a ‘support contract.’ ”

    TrueCrypt Developer “David” said: “Bitlocker is ‘good enough’ and Windows 
was original ‘goal of the project.’ ”

    Quoting TrueCrypt Developer David: “There is no longer interest.”
