dividends, page-197

The important question to ask yourself is whether you trust management to keep the cash in the business to grow it for the the long-term rather than him dashing with the cash (short-term gain for him).

If he pays himself the dividend won't the rest of us shareholders also get the dividend? The only other way is to illegally withdraw the cash and go where with 35-40mil in CASH Chinese cash to be precise - don't worry about your family just withdraw the cash and run what kind of backyard operation would that be. Spend years building up the business slowly building up cash and assets and reputation just to act like a dumb goon and withdraw the cash and run destroying everything and having the law on your ass and people questioning your family in a damp cell somewhere - including your son who also is heavily involved in the business.

Yeh that picture really holds water.... where would he go to some country with even less law where someone shows up with millions and he is going to be safe from not just external concerns but also local who know you have cash, and for the rest of his life? come on who dreams this stuff up seriously.
