To take advantage of?
If a person being gullible, he would be easy to be taken advantage of by other people, not "to take advantage of".
So the definition for the word mug should be:
a person who is gullible and easy to be taken advantage of?
Background info:
mug:
a person who is gullible and easy to take advantage of
