Editor: Both of your references state that it's lian3, not han1.
But in any case, 歛財 is just a variant of a word we already have in the dictionary.

And here is another editor's comment ~
"by dishonest means" is a flight of fancy of CE dicts. Of course the word is often used pejoratively.
以正当或非正当手段获取财富,一般指非正当方式,作贬义词使用居多
just heard the word btw. Dishonesty was not an option; greed, maybe.
Diff:
# 歛財 歛财 [han1 cai2] /to accumulate wealth by illegal ways/accumulate wealth by unfair means/
# Editor:
= 歛 歛 [lian3] /variant of 斂|敛[lian3]/
= 斂財 敛财 [lian3 cai2] /to accumulate wealth/to rake in money/
