Well, an attorney may well have an opinion whether
the shortfall is insurable but that doesn't mean
the insurance company has the same opinion.

<speculation mode on>
I think that Pino & Co believe the shortfall is
(or has a very good chance of being) insurable
and have approached their insurance company on
the matter. The insurance company is probably
reviewing the policy and circumstances before
agreeing (or not) to pay the claim. Once they
hear from the insurance company (good or bad),
I expect Pino & Co will report to us; should
the insurance company deny the claim, Pino
and company could choose either to just accept
that decision or to pursue the matter in some
legal fashion... if that were the case, I'd
expect them to take the charge on their books
while simultaneously stating how they intend to
pursue the matter. But lets just hope the
insurance company decides they have to pay
the claim.

Is it possible this whole inventory mixup issue could be due
to something so simple as human error or a system bug?

Perhaps the reason they don't have what they thought they did
is some person or some program just screwed up (no malice or
forethought), and they are now trying to sort out what happened...
