Ask HN: How to recognize a “bad” VC?

Pardon my english. Sorry If this question has been asked before.

I'm seeking an advice and a good discussions about .. [title].

I have a target VC that I would like to submit my pitch-deck, but I tend to wait because I'm not quite sure about them, and this is a reason why I ask this question, and I need some insight.

First, on their website they write a lot of a good things, it's a psychological way of thinking, and me especially incline to think the opposite because there's no a good things when the money involved.

Second, I don't know which person, but based on my research, they have an account in the caymand island.

Third, they promoted their VC through bloomberg and few other news agency, but I tried to tracked the article and I couldn't find it on those site because the article has gone. I don't know how it could be possible.

Above of that, you might raise a question, why I might still want to choose them.

fourth, their investor had an investment in paypal and space-x.

fifth, the VC also announce that they will limit the startup they want to invest. at the moment they have 4 startup they've funded so far. three in my country one in abroad.

Sixth, They offer more money than any other VC.

Should I avoid this VC and find another VC? or I still submit my pitch-deck to them?

or It is possible to ask straighforward to them from email, like Hey, I would like to submit my pitch-deck to you but I'm not quite sure because.. bla bla bla? should I do this?

Thanks
