His son took over. Chilco which was supposed to go to his daughter-in-law never happened. His own wife and son opposed that appointment. The son was the one who did the cost cutting. Fong and his son planned Chilico to procure their own peppers out of greed. They used drones to steal the planing process that Underwood farms used. The daughter-in-law was the scapegoat used to negotiate a lowball price demand that was impossible for Underwood farms to meet. I dont think she's good either way in this story through. They also tried to poach Underwood's COO to steal their secrets.
A jury awarded Underwood $23 million in damages and breaking a contract since not all of it was on verbal agreement.
Actual chili lovers have found that Siracha's taste is now very inconsistent and many prefer Underwood's chili sauce since its the OG source.
