He will do time for money, so at moonlight, move soap (11)
I believe the answer is:
flimflammer
'at moonlight move soap' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'he will do time for money' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 'am' and 'am' is located in the answer.
'money' could be 'm' (abbreviation in economics) and 'm' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'so' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
