Both Matt Green and I donated to the project. The reason: thousands of people actually use Truecrypt, and it's important to know how safe their data actually was.

I'm amused by the idea that the actual words of the TC developers are less credible than whatever random thoughts are bubbling around a message board. But, HN, what are you gonna do.

That's not what the donation page says:

There's no hint that the audit is for historic purposes.

As for your second paragraph, I already said that the TC developer might just have been polite in that mail. Technical people are often not able to stand up for themselves, especially if it comes to money.

I'm pretty sure I can safely speak for the TC audit project on this point.
