Crossword Genius

Plenty bending the law (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wealth

'plenty' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bending the law' is the wordplay.
'bending' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the'+'law'='thelaw'
'thelaw' with letters rearranged gives 'WEALTH'.

(Other definitions for wealth that I've seen before include "State of luxury" , "Possessions and resources" , "Material worth" , "capital" , "Prosperity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
