Maybe saw money getting raised (4)
I believe the answer is:
tool
'maybe saw' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'money getting raised' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'loot' (loot is a kind of money).
'getting raised' says the letters should be written backwards.
'loot' written backwards gives 'TOOL'.
(Other definitions for tool that I've seen before include "Person exploited" , "Practical implement" , "Hand implement" , "Implement - agency" , "Maybe saw" .)
