Insiders owe Al thousands - lots of cash (6)
I believe the answer is:
wealth
'lots of cash' is the definition.
'wealth' can be an answer for 'lots' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'of cash' bit.
'insiders owe al thousands' is the wordplay.
'WEALTH' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wealth that I've seen before include "State of luxury" , "'Riches, affluence (6)'" , "Riches, worldly goods" , "Prosperity" , "Material worth" .)
