I always wondered if this happened alot. Compare how 'tight' shows like Dragons Den (UK) are who really grill the contestants ... and THEN do further due diligence. They ask for profitable track records (or some kind of proof that sales will come) and demand high percentages. By contract silicon valley seems to throw money at people. Much more money, for much lower percentages. If someone can talk the talk and make the right noises they can game this system. Failed 4 times? Well that's great! They are experienced. They know the problems and will succeed this time. Maybe rich people forget, but if you give the average person a million dollars ... that's a lot of money! Crime shows I watch a typical amount someone will literally kill for is $50,000.
