In last nights ‘The Team’ podcast you mentioned;
“We are trying to simulate life. You want to make money and also fight and wipe the entire team, so you are needing to be one-man army and it is kind of not realistic. But if you play with your friends you have roles-- one is point man fighter the other is a carrier or support who Carrie's the loot. It isn't an easy task and solution”
Hearing this excited me and gave me an idea that I would like to propose to you!
Your team has just stormed though the map, with one person (the carrier) doing most of the looting etc. and you have now safely extracted. You click through the various screens telling you, who you killed, how much damage you’ve done etc…
Now my idea! One last screen; similar to when on a Scav and you get to transfer all the loot you carried out to your stash.
This screen shows up to 5 containers (1 for each member of the squad) these containers would show all loot not carried in by the squad including items moved to the alpha/gamma containers. To me this is simulating your squad back in the safe house where they can safely tally up their profits and trophies.
The players can drop and drag the loot to and from each other, once a player is happy with his/her share of the loot they can click the blue confirm button under their container which then locks it. Each player can only confirm their own containers; the squad leader can also confirm other players containers if there is a disagreement over who should get what, so players aren’t stuck in the screen waiting for someone to confirm.
Once all players are confirmed and locked the ‘Deal’ button at the top of the screen will highlight and clicking it would confirm the transfer of the items to each players stash. The raid is now over, and players are sent back to the menu screen.
Edit: This could be option that is chosen before going into a raid, so if a squad does not want to use it they don't have to. (suggested multiple times in comments)

I feel if this was brought in a way, where even if you lose a squad member, they could be sent "their share" in the mail this would really enforce the "roles" part of Nikita's dream, allowing the Point men and Breachers to still get something out of it if they happen to be unlucky or silly. I feel this would also soften the blow from waiting for them to extract, would encourage more to stream the game so their teammates could watch on and such.
Edit: Guys! nothing about this system would be forcing you to give a dead player any loot. If they die and you think they should get nothing, then just don't put anything in their container, its that simple. On the other hand maybe the only reason you made it out is because your team mate stayed and covered you while you ran to extract with all the loot, is that player not worth sharing loot with???
