Price of evil shyster? It may be (6,6,2,6)

I believe the answer is:

thirty pieces of silver

'price of evil shyster? it may be' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'price of evil shyster? it may be' is the wordplay.
'may be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'price'+'of'+'evil'+'shyster'+'it'='priceofevilshysterit'
'priceofevilshysterit' with letters rearranged gives 'THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
