Where did you get the budget figure from?
Don't see it mentioned on the survey page or on the 'more info' one.

I feel retarded but can someone explain to me what the point of such audit.

According to the 'implementation' section on their page, July is when the code review is supposed to start.
Why is the voting open still?
And what does 'sample code review' mean?
They'll be reviewing a portion of the code to see how it goes?

I read in an article that ends on 7. july. Couldn't find anything on the official sites though.

Truecrypt audit collected 46 thousand dollars, these guys have a million. They have nearly 21-times the budget Truecrypt audit had but they are only doing a "sample code review".

the truecrypt audit also missed two privilege escalation bugs, while I don't think the eu audit would have done any better there's something to be said for not putting complete faith in audits
