break the law

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wrong way to' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'wealth' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'wealth' is 'thelaw' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'break' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'make' acts as a link.
