That would piss off many investors and you don't want to do that. The most recent example is Martin Shkreli [1].
What they could get away with is spend 20-50% of the funds on hiring a large well-looking diverse team, spend the rest on consultancy fees from world-class experts in XXX and YYY and eventually quietly shut down. In the current investment climate this won't be taken as a questionable spending, at least not enough to bother investigating possible affiliation between you and the experts (e.g. Juicero and Ottolock).
