What a persistent fraudster might get far in the future? (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
long-term
'what a persistent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'fraudster might get far in the future?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'get' is 'gte' which is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for long-term that I've seen before include "Not immediate" , "Relating to a relatively extended period" , "Enduring" , "Over a great time" .)
