Crossword Genius

Riches obtained by breaking the law (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wealth

'riches' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'breaking the law' is the wordplay.
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'law'='thelaw'
'thelaw' with letters rearranged gives 'WEALTH'.

'obtained by' is the link.

(Other definitions for wealth that I've seen before include "'Riches, affluence (6)'" , "An abundance of valuable possessions or money" , "Abundance of resources" , "Assets" , "capital" .)
