You can premine chain splits. See bitcoin gold, which had a premine of 100k coins, or the very coin this thread is about, with a premine of millions.

You can't secretly do it though.

With a new coin on a fresh chain, a premine can be secret, and outsiders can't tell the difference between a premine and the initial few users.
