List of different ways through which founder has routed VC money for personal gains

  1. hiring very expensive law firms with kick back. 
  2. Buying the office space and then hiking the rent to the office around 5x and made money.
  3. Fake invoices
  4. hiring friends companies for consulting
  5. setting up shell companies for hiring
  6. Buying Forbes 30 under 30 slots with VC money

Make this list more exhaustive.

I want to say to these founders : bhai kisko chutiya bana rahe ho... And after all this, they have galls to become Gyan chodeswar on LinkedIn, podcasts etc.

*marked up invoices. Going through a middle man for procurement where middle man is a shell company set up by relatives. Tough to catch in an audit also. Evergreen kickback scheme.
