There is a high risk that the Creator of the coin produces it on a modified ASIC
Sounds like ravings of a madman. I can believe that someone made a gpu miner, but the asic for this algo is nonsense.
Perhaps(!) changing some parameters for asic algo is a real, but changing asic algo itself is impossible.
You can just take a look at souce code of the coin to make sure that the algo is really changed compared to the other CN. Yes, changes are little but determinative.
