Crossword Genius

Exaggerated account discredited (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overdrawn

This clue is a double definition.

'exaggerated' is the first definition.
('overdraw' can be a synonym of 'exaggerate')

'account discredited' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for overdrawn that I've seen before include "Cartoonishly exaggerated" , "lacking a healthy balance?" , "is no longer credited" , "bust?" , "got into debt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
