Believe me, those that are loading up off shore (on the very cheap) won't need a dividend when this goes up, but I'm sure if it was available there would be a way they would get paid.
You acquire 100-150m shares under $1 and the lid is finally moved.... wonder what the profit will be?
From the point of view of a high-profile investor, however, keeping information, such as the investor's identity, secret while accumulating shares of a public company can offer that investor a significant financial (and legal) advantage. High-profile investors don't like the public at large knowing what stocks they're investing in. Multi-millionaire investors don't want a bunch of little fish buying the same stocks that they have targeted for large volume share purchases - the little guys run up the prices.
