The verb 'bamboozle'
He bamboozled me out of $50.
He bamboozled $50 out of me.
Which sentence would be correct? In my dictionary, for example, the former sentence is written. But for me the latter sentence seems natural in the usage 'out of'.
Next, I found an example sentence in the word 'swindle.
swindle a person out of his money.
swindle a person's money out of him
I suppose the verb accompanying with act toward person to do something(e.g threaten/terrify/violence, etc), would have person as object, the verb(e.g steal,deceive) without being aware of by victim would have thing as object.
Would this be correct or both sentences would be correct?
