Maybe it’s my love of history, but I’ve always enjoyed the term “patsy.” Lee Harvey Oswald famously called himself a patsy when he was arrested, denying he had assassinated President John F. Kennedy.
Just to have a little fun with the literal meaning of patsy, it’s this from Oxford Languages:
a person who is easily taken advantage of, especially by being cheated or blamed for something.
