Reprobate who'd rob a triplet? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reprobate' is the definition.
(informal term for a fraud)

'who'd rob a triplet?' is the wordplay.
'RIP' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rip that I've seen before include "Final hope" , "Shred" , "Tear; rough water" , "Roue's" , "Letters usually seen on gravestone" .)
