Except it says Dividend!
Dividend = A dividend is a distribution of profits by a corporation to its shareholders. When a corporation earns a profit or surplus, it is able to pay a portion of the profit as a dividend to shareholders. Any amount not distributed is taken to be re-invested in the business.

I get it if it said paying out remaining assets to uninsured creditors (given the businesses and individuals are the creditors to bank) but is says dividends!

>>Except it says Dividend!

A ‘dividend’ is just ‘A quantity to be divided.’ *by definition* -

why are you picking a single alternative definition, that doesn’t apply here and getting upset about it?
