11M really is not enough to suspect a conspiracy of this scale.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what a shipment with an Nvidia label to a warehouse contains.

Typically it's a bit harder than that as not every shipment is millions of dollars in stuff.

My father was a transportation manager for years, and his first rule is when expensive shipments are targeted and inexpensive are not it's an inside job.

That's how they fool the public, and people almost always take the bait. The above "$11M" is just one of many; the rest have not been discovered yet.

The big conspiracy is not $11m of hardware going missing in domestic US, its everyone from Jensen Huang to Trump knowing Huang's girlfriend was a Chinese spy and several mysterious shell companies with a front office that she was connected to in Singapore buying billions of dollars of chips. At least based on reporting so far.

edit : oh and possibly Lutnick and Nvidia covering it up

So perhaps there's another shoe to drop in terms of Nvidia (the DOJ case), and maybe Trump throws Lutnick under the bus when the heat piles on
