Spanish term
perseguidor de avaros
I wrote:
Tax collector or greedy-chaser (which is a word I made up) what do you think?
i also though of using something similar to "bird dog" but I am not too sure it could be used in this context or if the meaning is what I am looking for. (to bird-dog would be sth like "estarle encima, atras"?)

: you could put "hunter of greedies" (but not greedy hunter as that means the hunter himself is greedy)

: As Carovars and others mentioned, this is reversed. A greedy hunter would be perseguidor avaricioso. It's not the same.

: Greedies alone cannot be used as a noun. It would have to be "greedy people." The rest is fine! :) Oh, you could also say "the greedy."

Hi Kirendall, thanks for your suggestions :) Deborah suggested above using 'greedies', so I am not very sure about using greedy or greedies, I think greedies could be acceptable
