But is the tech fake? For me it looked rock solid, when I bought it.
Litecoin founder Charlie Lee has also left LTC.
Is there still room for speculation or does Zil now just know one direction? (down)
And if so why would that be? Is CTO leaving reason enough?
Where have you got inf that Charlie Lee left Litecoin?
...
Wikipedia says he sold most of his coins in 2017, but still works with the Litecoin Foundation.

In December 2017, Lee announced on Reddit that he sold almost all of his Litecoin holdings due to a perceived conflict of interest. He had been criticized for his tweets, which had a possible effect on the price of the coin. Lee sold or donated all of his coins except for a few minted in physical form which he kept as collectibles.
Lee is currently working full-time with the Litecoin Foundation on Litecoin adoption.
