I think generally the looting is done at the top and then drip fed down: a Prince loots 100m and keeps 20 and passed 80 down to lessor and lessor people. That maintains their loyalty to that Prince. In roughly the same people get a dividend direct from SA, they don't have to keep coming and asking their particular prince or supporting his other efforts etc.
This seems like it cuts out a lot of the middle men and just leaves MBS and the recipient...
Also, as in understand it, a lot of people were basically forced to buy shares whether they wanted to or not (or lose favour). A big dividend semi reverses that. It's like forcing someone to pay a big fine then, majestically giving half back to show you're a beneficent and merciful king.
