No VC will ever say they invested in a company "so they can blow it". They invest so the company can spend on marketing/distribution, product, etc. Not on just-for-fun items.
I work in a startup and we keep ourselves in check. If we weren't managing our finances it would be our fault first. Mayyyybe blame the VC's indirectly for who they invested in.
