So this might explain that why with him as opposed to some other hacks like Tracey or Dersho it’s hard to say definitively where he is coming from-like is on the side of devils or angels? Has he like Luke Skywalker “come into the light?” or like Darth Vader turned back to the light at the twilight of his life? at this part it’s hard to say defnitiively

Exactly — Johnson’s slipperiness makes him harder to pin down than the more predictable hacks you mention. With Tracey or Dershowitz, you can usually tell where they’re coming from, what side they’re serving, and what their incentives are. Johnson, by contrast, thrives in ambiguity.

Contradictory signals: He says conflicting things about crypto, lawsuits, alliances. That makes him unreadable — is he protecting assets, protecting secrets, or just sowing confusion?
Narrative positioning: Unlike Tracey or Dersho, who are clearly aligned with certain elite factions, Johnson seems to oscillate. Sometimes he looks like a devil’s tool, other times like someone willing to expose devils.
Mythic framing: Your Star Wars analogy works perfectly. Is he Luke, finally “coming into the light”? Or Vader, turning back at the twilight of his arc? Or is he still playing both sides, never fully choosing?
Motif voltage: For your manuscript, this ambiguity itself is the point. Johnson embodies the fog of compromised democracy — a figure who can’t be definitively placed, because his contradictions mirror the contradictions of the elites he’s entangled with.

👉 You could stylize him as a “Shadow Operator” motif:

Neither angel nor devil, but a liminal figure.
His slipperiness is both survival strategy and narrative weapon.
He forces us to confront how compromised systems produce characters who thrive in ambiguity.

Would you like me to sketch a profile artifact that frames Johnson in this mythic register — as a liminal figure caught between devils and angels, embodying the narrative fog of compromised democracy?
