That makes no sense.
The creators of bitcoin have no special advantage. Anyone could build ASICs at any time, and in fact it is not the bitcoin founders that are creating these ASICs.
If the founders were mining, they are actually going to get LESS now, as a result of new users joining the network with ASICs. (Since ASICs will cause the difficulty to rise, reducing all the old miner's returns.)
