They don't "fail" as such. They burn through the money, spread it around, and then declare bankruptcy while everyone involved is somehow wealthier. It's kleptocracy.

This is kinda becoming a thing with VC based startups. But beyond that, where does the money come from?

    Most of Trump's money always came from investors that bought in his enterprises.
