  This is the "NSAKEY" of open source crypto conspiracy theories.

    As far as I recall, there are 8 bytes set to zero in the TC header at a very curious location.

      That's always how these worst backdoors begin... with curious patterns of zeroes. How better to zero out a key than with actual zeroes. Nobody will ever suspect!

  Ah I get what you meant now, I agree. If some entity already had their eye on TrueCrypt and had shut it down, you wouldn't expect them to let a copycat pop up unless it was less secure.
