Is this the one that forked off BitCoin due to differences centered around how it didn't make its investors/founders enough money?

From the last thread they pointed out: "Zcash's monetary base will be the same as Bitcoin's — 21 million Zcash currency units (ZEC, or ⓩ) will be mined over time. 10% of that reward will be distributed to the stakeholders in the Zcash Company — founders, investors, employees, and advisors. We call this the “Founders Reward”."

It's nice to have a currency with more security and privacy features in mind but I would be extremely wary of compromises like this for that achievement.
