Hey, in the mid seventies there was a multilevel scam for red wrigglers. They marketed hamburgers made of red wrigglers. High protein. Never tried any worm burgers, but ended up with thousands and thousands of red wrigglers from my father in law that lost five grand on the deal. The company was to buy all the worms he could produce. He had 32 8x16 beds full and the company never bought a single worm.

Sounds like your dad could have pursued a law suit back then. But hey if all else fails pack them in little containers of saw dust and sell them to a local bait shop. or along side the road on the way to the fishing holes. even bring some with you when you go fishing and sell to the fishermen around you or in the camp site

From what I understand, back in those days there were no laws preventing these kinds of scams...
