If the Ingram deal exits CFIUS review succssfully, Burns will be like a kid in a candy store.

Update, Burns has since added to his LinkedIn profile:
However, he still does not list his company as Hikvision.
It will be fascinating to see if Hikvision does not object to Burn's obvious shame in showing that he is employed by the Chinese government owned company.

I think my judgement might be suspect, because isn't this the sort of post that anonymous was made for?
We love the way IPVM cuts through the confusion, claims, and marketing to inform us of the technical and functional merits and shortcoming of a wide variety of gear.
... but, do you think it might be unwise to acknowledge that this thread seems just a little, uh, well, much?
I mean, we're all human (well, most of us, anyway). We make plenty of mistakes -- that's a core part of the human condition. I don't know about everybody else, but I totally want to leave my past mistakes in the past. The present is even worse -- who wants their every move to be scrutinized and kibbitzed?
So, although I acknowledge the point that's being made, my sympathies lie with Mr. Tom Burns, even though he's a complete stranger.

Customer Service: Hello, this is Hikvision support, can I help you?
IPVM: Yes, I'm having some trouble finding your company name in Director Tom Burns' LinkedIn account.
Customer Service: Have you tried rebooting?

I don't get it...maybe it's the veteran in me but, regardless of pay, I just couldn't work for the Chinese government.
