Does someone have a link that points to this controversy?

Thanks

I don't know anything about any kind of.... "controversy"

All I know is that there was an [ANN] thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1410943.0 and that the devs managed to fairly mine 80%

We have secured ~80% of the initial STEEM via mining. Our plan is to keep 20%, sell 20% to raise money, and give away 40% to attract users / referrers.

If you are honest and serious about your question then please read this as many times as nesecery to fully understand it(I can't stress enough how important this is!), http://bytemaster.github.io/article/2016/03/27/How-to-Launch-a-Crypto-Currency-Legally-while-Raising-Funds/ Actually I believe that you should read the linked blog/article no matter what.
