TrueCrypt is no longer secure, and the maintainers have asked people not to use it.

In my opinion TrueCrypt is still safe, and Safer than Bitlocker.

That's... Not valid proof brought to the table and a completely out-of-context analogy.

You're digging a deep grave.

Sourceforge isn't exactly a random site.

You are going on a "Proof" basis, PROVE to me that truecrypt is insecure...
