Yes, I'd rather invest in a coin where the developer or development team remains anonymous so there is no chance somebody will go after them. Just imagine Litecoin shooting up in value to threaten Bitcoins's reign. If that happens the developers will have enemies in governments as well as Bitcoin supporters. Sunny King and Satoshi have nothing to worry about right now because of their anonymity.
I think PeercoinEthusiast said it best "In code and community we trust".
Anyone who's been following PPC and Sunny King know the code checks out and the whole project is legitimate. And while there's probably advantages and disadvantages on both sides of having the head developer anonymous vs. known, personally I can dig Sunny's elusive/mysterious path, but that's just me
