Charlie Lee, the founder of Litecoin (LTC) - the 5th largest cryptocurrency strongly inspired by Bitcoin - sold and gave all of his Litecoins. To explain his decision, he spoke of a "conflict of interest". Indeed: "Whenever I tweet about the price of the litecoin or that I announce good or [bad] news, I am accused of doing it for personal benefit. Some people even think that I shorte the LTC. So, in a way, if I have so much influence, it's a conflict of interest for me to hold LTCs and tweet about them. "
