Double Double Trouble for In N Out Burger

More news about the Irvine-based burger chain, In N Out Burger came out today. Company director Richard Boyd has been accused of fraud and embezzlement. The lawsuit against Boyd claims that he hired construction firms to build In n Out burger facilities without bids from competing vendors, then diverted construction crews to his private property to do work.

This information comes after news earlier this week about Boyd suing Lynsi Martinez and other top company executives for trying to force out In n Out's president and founder, Esther L. Snyder, in an attempt to overthrow existing power and install new managers who would support Martinez's desire to expand the burger chain. Sounds like someone is trying to get back at someone.

Esther Snyder and her husband Harry opened the first In n Out burger location n 1948. Martinez, Snyder's grand-daughter, is the sole heir.

Whatever happens, I just think In n Out needs to come clean about their "secret menu."
