@Zarathustra TJ never liked that Ian taking part in such a dangerous sport, judging by Jason's reaction. The flashbacks showed what a trigger any vehicle is for TJ. Even now he never drives a car, which means psychological trauma still plays a huge role in his life. Ian is his dearest person, so it’s not surprising that TJ is so afraid of losing him, especially in a car/motorcycle accident (after all, that’s how he became an orphan). So, yes, TJ was wrong for not talking to Ian about his fears, but he certainly didn't mean him any harm.
I already wrote this, but many motives are still not revealed. Maybe TJ should have respected Ian's decision to take drugs and just watch his loved one die?
I also don't want to repeat myself about prison and money, but Ian brutally killed his subordinate, although that guy was trying to crawl away, and this is no longer considered self-defense. TJ understood how much Ian blamed himself for this, so he asked to give Ian a short sentence, which was later reduced. If Ian had not received at least some punishment, he would not have been able to forgive himself. Moreover, the person who ordered Ian’s murder was still unknown, so TJ needed to “buy time” to search for him andand also protect his dear one.
