This is complete conjecture. Like Truecrypt, Veracrypt is open source, has been audited and has been actively maintained. Could it use another audit? Sure but so could Bitlocker but that isn't happening for even the first time any time soon.

I read this as intended to be some kind of rebuttal but… Where did I say it wasn't conjecture?

I was stating facts about the ecosystem. People didn't trust it at the time.

I never said there was a definite reason for that distrust.

Never heard of any credible reasons to distrust Veracrypt. Don't know who these "people" are either, none of the comments named anything more concrete than what sounds like online rumors.
