A much simpler term would be 'crocodile tears'.
Cozened = to mislead by means of a petty trick or fraud; deceive
Indigo = symbol color of law enforcement and spiritual energy

Hypocrites of all types cry crocodile tears when they’re busted, furthering the deception.

Anyone willing to go through that amount of work, not in search of truth, but instead of 'winning' to make themselves look better, has 'got to be high'.
