Definition

A person who swindles, cheats or defrauds.

Borrowed from German Schwindler, 1774.

"But I got somethin’ to say bearin’ on that swindler who got what was comin’ to him."
"There’s good reason to worry. In an earlier memoir, “Five-Finger Discount,” Stapinski recreated the terrifying world of swindlers, embezzlers, burglars and mobster wannabes who made up her extended Jersey City family."
