Trimper
Trimper, in a general sense, refers to someone who deceives or swindles others, particularly out of money. It often implies a level of sophistication or cunning in the deception, going beyond simple trickery. The term can be used to describe someone who runs dishonest schemes or participates in fraudulent activities. The motivation is typically personal financial gain.
The term also carries a connotation of being a "confidence man" or "con artist," suggesting the trimper relies on charm, persuasion, and manipulation to gain the trust of their victims before exploiting them.
While "trimper" is generally understood to describe deceptive financial dealings, the specific scale and nature of the deception can vary greatly. It may refer to small-time scams or large-scale fraud, depending on the context.
