Bait and Switch

Stanley Huntington, 52, of Farmington, N.M., has pleaded no contest to six counts of fraud after selling worms for $125 per pound. He claimed the worms were breeding stock for “California Red Superworms” that would eat nuclear waste, and that breeding the worms for a new federal waste facility would be the “Easiest job ever!” He faces 12 years in prison.
