sharpie
Slick con artist
A sharpie is a person who's sharp—clever and potentially dishonest, especially at cards or business deals.
The word suggests someone who uses cunning to take advantage of others: The old sharpie fleeced the tourists at three-card monte.
Also spelled sharpy. (Capitalized Sharpie is a brand of permanent marker.)
