Synnex having NCIX as one of their big accounts I'm sure they wouldn't want to cut them off immediately because they have contracts in place and relations to keep. Most likely Synnex was kept in the dark about all the internal difficulties NCIX was having. One more thing, there are also possibilities that NCIX was using distributors as storage facilities for skids of overflow inventory and be placed on invoiced orders, meaning NCIX just calls these distributors up and tell them to place sticker labels based on what is ordered, then ship them out; which is another large cost.

1) Ingram is the biggest disti of all (compared to Synnex / TD / Avnet etc TD just bought Avnet to stay competitive globally.)
2) Not one of the disti were kept in the dark, they are fully aware every day on the net 120+ days plus owing.
3) Yes, NCIX as well as Toys R' US, Staples, MS etc all uses distri (Ingram in particular to do all their storage).
4) NCIX is definitely not a big account for Ingram / TD / Synnex. What NCIX does in a year is what some of these account does in 3 months.
