Yes there have been communication and transparency issues from the beginning. Remember the fork early on where no one knew it was coming and a bunch of pools lost much of the day's worth of work because they didn't know the coin had been forked by a mandatory update?

The claims of "we have private investors" have never been proven as far as I know, which also has caused a bit of controversy.

Devs, don't get me wrong I support this coin. I was an early adopter who mined when you first started and have been holding coins for a long time. I didn't even sell any when the price spiked.

But, there have been a lot of scams and broken promises in the crypto world so trust is not that easily earned or kept. It might be time to share a bit more detail with the community.
