You named that one wrongly.

Litecoin is a [SCAM]

He created it with claims it was GPU resistant and you will also find me posting in there about it
saying he used scrypt settings low enough to fit in a GPU.

The truth was the coin creator was GPU mining for a VERY long time while everyone else was CPU mining, until he released the GPU code
(if my memory serves me correctly - though it may not - it may have been as long as a year?)
