Robinhood Publishers 

Publishing houses that rob their star authors to pay bonuses to their oft-underpaid and overworked editors and their bosses, using all kinds of creative strategies to avoid getting caught, while family-owned publishers would notoriously overpay themselves and their loved ones or relatives first, but underpay their employees.
Even in low-corruption Singapore, it’s an open secret that Robinhood publishers continue to thrive, because most authors who’ve a sixth sense of being shortchanged couldn’t afford the legal means to suing them for their decades-long shady business practices.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
