Swindler \Swin"dler\, n. [G. schwindler, fr. schwindlen to be
   dizzy, to act thoughtlessly, to cheat, fr. schwindel
   dizziness, fr. schwinden to vanish, to disappear, to dwindle.
   See {Swim} to be dizzy.]
   One who swindles, or defrauds grossly; one who makes a
   practice of defrauding others by imposition or deliberate
   artifice; a cheat.

   Syn: Sharper; rogue.

   Usage: {Swindler}, {Sharper}. These words agree in describing
          persons who take unfair advantages. A swindler is one
          who obtains money or goods under false pretenses. A
          sharper is one who cheats by sharp practice, as in
          playing at cards or staking what he can not pay.

                Fraud and injustice soon follow, and the dignity
                of the British merchant is sunk in the
                scandalous appellation of a swindler. --V. Knox.

                Perhaps you 'll think I act the same As a sly
                sharper plays his game.           --Cotton.
