tutaj: kantowac/szachrowac

Explanation:
Rip pewnie od 'rip off': 'nabrac/okantowac'; 'skip': 'dac noge';

Przetlumaczylbym to jako: 'znajda jakiegos chetnego cwaniaka a ty sie znajdziesz na bruku';

". in 1983 to more than $2.7 billion last year, has produced many so-called
rip-and-skip artists, who spring up overnight and disappear a few months later. "

"Since we are questioning motives, let's talk about you. I suspect you are nothing more than one of those rip and skip guys who pilage the west for their own motives and profit. Why do I say this "

coś po linii:
znajdą kogoś, kto machnie/przymknie oko na BHP, a ciebie zwolnią - ew. 'oleje BHP' (ale to już na pograniczu dobrego smaku)
