There's always going to be a conflict of interest when a developer, particularly a lead one and creator like Lee, also holds coins. Just in previous weeks he already announced major marketing moves, appeared on CNBC's Squawk Alley, leading up to LTC's all time high. He would have realised this long before any of those moves, long before quitting other commitments to focus solely on Litecoin.
Backlash to any moves are to be expected. On the other extreme you have ardent and long time Bitcoin advocate Andreas Antonopoulos getting flak for spreading Bitcoin education for years and never owning any. There you have someone with a clear boundary with no commercial stake, but then now he's been "forced" into owning millions of dollars in Bitcoin through donations.
And people wonder why Satoshi him/her/themselves never bore bore real world identities.
