My assumption reading the piece is that individual orders aren't being swallowed up so much as a warehouse has a stock and tells the customer so. And then sometime between an order being placed and fulfilled the feds use their power under the defense whatever it's called act to say, "All your stock of such-and-such item belongs to us," meaning that Jose's supply and everyone else who ordered from that supplier is gone in an instant, rather than any specific order being "redirected." Just an assumption.So. Back to Jose and his order being snarfed up by "someone".
