if the company was lying to VC's, is it possible for them to recoup their investments outside of a civil lawsuit? I'm imagining some sort of criminal fraud investigation could happen, but dont really know.

It's all a game. The founders are friends with VCs, then when they fail out of the startups, they join the VCs.

From my perspective it is all a game against the foolish and greedy LPs.
