: Yeah, let's rip off a bank. Although жулик is rather a pilferer, petty creature, unable to rob even a man :) Be aware of Oripoff, Aripoff, Sharipoff etc., as they sound 100% Tartar/Bashk./Uzbek/Kazakh/Kyrgyz etc. and make your pun invisible/unapparent.

Probably "knock off" a bank and "rip off" a customer, but who's counting?

Fraudleroff, Pickpocketoff, Pilferikoff
financial fraud, picking pockets, pilfering etc.
Обязательно окончание "ов" или можно поиграть с окончаниями? Должны ли они все быть "русскими"?

Note from asker:
| The name must sound Russian, but be telling to a native of English. Your version doesn't quite suit me. Ebn my looks better, at least to me. |

Please don't forget that such a surname doesn't exist at all in reality. It is a figurative style and it may be translated

If it has to sound Russian, but not obviously like a fabrication.
If you don't care about it's sounding Russian, there's always "Cheatham." The guys on the "Car Talk" radio show include, as part of their sign-off credits, their law firm, "Dewey, Cheatham and Howe" - which sounds like a fine string of old New England names, except it can be heard as "Do We Cheat 'Em, and How!"

The scary thing is that there actually is such a name. I own a book or two written, ironically, by a Dr. Crook. I can't think of his first name at the moment. I always thought that на его месте, I would change my name. Who would trust a Dr. Crook, but he is, in face, excellent!
