Unfortunately there are individuals who do almost this. Their names do travel in the VC circles. Their goal is to get VC money, enjoy the funds and preferably fail within a year or so; rinse and repeat.

Spend 3 to 9 months securing the funds, be boss, leading lavish lifestyle for 12 to 18 months, while getting paid and have lots of perks.
