I’m not sure what the problem is. His account is locked, but it’s not like he can’t still sign code and distribute it even if that means using a new account. Edit: other articles point out that his company failed certification, and he’s not been able to reach support to find out why.

The answer to your question was in the article; Because Microsoft requires developer accounts like his to re-verify the security of their software, Idrassi said that many devices running VeraCrypt will soon be unable to boot if the issue is not resolved.
