The Truecrypt Audit Project did not "cost you Truecrypt". The primary reason the project was abandoned was that it's a 3rd party package that implements something every operating system now implements for itself, better than Truecrypt could. There is a mythology among Linux Truecrypt users that the whole project was an effort to create a cross-platform encrypted disk scheme to free users from the tyrannical yoke of I don't know LUKS, but I've seen zero evidence that such a goal was particularly important to actual TC developers.
