J.B. Johnston (born 1925) is a Wall Street banker whose bank loaned "a lot of money" to the Revillas to help finance their drug operations, and uses his political connections to stop the police from interfering, because if the Revillas were shut down his bank would be devastated from the losses, using people like Margaret to monitor the streets, collecting information on anyone who could pose a threat, including James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs. His actions led to the murder of DEA agents.
When Crockett and Tubbs find out and face him because of what he did, he is forced to tell them everything while also trying to justify it in the name of the country and also telling them about his power and its implications, also for them. After that they come to the conclusion that they can't act against him, because of his power and influence which leads to an inevitable draw between them. However, they still promise him they will deal with him once he loses his power one day. This on the one hand makes him feel relieved and victorious, but also worried because of this possible future prospect.
