operator
   a swindler
   Literally, anyone who carries out an operation, but beware of so describing a surgeon in his hearing:
    'What does that mean — operator?' 'Well, I've done a bit of villainy.' (L. Thomas, 1978)
   The word is also used of politicians and businessmen who use unconventional or questionable tactics to achieve their ends, and of dealers in illicit drugs.
