Ummmm, no.
Dividends paid by the company go to the registered holder, the buyer of the shorted shares. The shorter who sold them gets to pay the div to the broker he borrowed the shares from, who is no longer the registered owner. No div, no payment.
nothing magical about it.

There's clearly a misunderstanding... and again, people here think dividend money is magical money somehow.

WillyWally wrote: The amount of the dividend payout is removed from the stock price, so a short mathematically doesn't lose anything. Again, a dividend is not magical money coming from the sky. The only real difference here is that a short will need to have the funds now to pay for the dividend, instead of simply having to wait for when covering to close their transaction.
