I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:
TOADS (toad = snake = slang for an unpleasant or untrustworthy person), then LOOT (haul = winnings) reversed (back). Toadstool = an inedible mushroom, potentially a poisonous one, though there isn’t a clear distinction; not all toadstools are poisonous, and some nasty ones may still be called mushrooms.
