Muckraker

Someone hired to rake manure. A hoarder of money. More recently, an investigative reporter.

"Those all-gathering muckrakes, who in due time are succeeded by all-scattering folks, which scatter riches as profusely as their sires gathered them promiscuously."

David Haddon Spurgeon, The Treasury of David; containing an original exposition of the Book of Psalms (1870).
