It is no secret that VC's are not interested in productive enterprises which produce a reliable and fair return on investment through revenue-generating activities. As you point out, They are obviously interested in concentration of vast amounts of wealth, which requires a completely different set of tactics. Cornering markets and establishing monopolies, regulatory capture, pump and dumps and other forms of grift and large-scale antisocial behaviour. It should be completely obvious to any onlooker that they have no interest in innovation or technology :)
