Obviously "John" was a gimmick, probably your sidekick "upjacked" playing both sides of the game.
He was playing both sides? No, your side only. He sounded exactly like you as well. Had the same style and everything and popped up brand new just to
attempt to give you more leverage.
If you didn't create it, fine, that's just strange someone would go through the trouble of doing that, he would sound like you, etc....
