Last week, a stock filing said that Dahua's CEO resigned for 'personal reasons' and an outside CEO was in, effective immediately. IPVM covered it last Friday, Dahua had no official statement then and has made no public statement since.

However, they do have a new press release out this week. The topic:

Yes, Dahua decided that an 'award winning' keyboard to be substantial enough for a press release but their CEO resigns and an outsider CEO comes in - nothing.

Let's recap the problems:
