Phrase coined by Tucker Carlson to apparently mean someone who claims to be a stripper but is in reality a prostitute. According to Mr. Carlson it can be assumed that all strippers are in fact crypto-hookers. Also, according to his legal scholarship, such individuals offer less reliable evidence in courts of law and thus testimony from them should not be taken seriously even though they are under oath.
Tucker Carlson asserted that the testimony of a woman allegedly raped at an off-campus party hosted by members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team "is to be taken ... a little differently" from that of "an ordinary person" because she is "a crypto-hooker" who "hires herself out to dance naked in front of and ... sometimes sleep with ... strangers."

Don't hook up with her, she's totally a Crypto-fat. She looks great in the dark but she hides her wide load well.

One who hides "nerdy" interests while maintaing an outwardly "normal" appearance, esp. someone who one would not expect to pursue such interests, such as a jock. A crypto-geek would usually be embarassed if these interests were revealed to his or her main circle of associates.
