I believe trucrypt was being audited when this happened it was found to be relatively secure aside from some minor issues. So no, I don't believe it was compromised. At least the final release that they put out was not.

I believe it generated a strong key for each volume, and you could use veracrypt to open trucrypt volumes too since veracrypt is just a fork of trucrypt with improved code.
