Leaving Lynch's house, Johnson's feelings and attitude towards Lynch became very complicated.
Lynch had given him some money before, he checked, twenty thousand dollars, which is not a small amount. Lynch's explanation was quite clever, saying it was giving him an opportunity to take care of Michael's family.
This explanation reduced Johnson's hostility towards Lynch considerably, regardless of how he convinced himself. The problem between Lynch and Michael didn't continue to escalate; instead, Lynch chose to step back and provided financial support for Michael's family after Michael was sentenced.
He's not a good person, nor is he a decent one. Yet somehow people don't get the chance to openly hate him. There's hostility, but not much.
Moreover, the root of the whole matter was Michael himself. According to the media, Lynch has always been a victim.
This situation was initiated by Michael himself. He went to prison, and for quite some time, he was prepared for it.
