'just the opposite' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'he's not crooked' is the wordplay.

'hesnot' is an anagram of 'HONEST'.

(Other definitions for honest that I've seen before include "Not dissembling" , "Truthful in manner" , "Genuine and trustworthy" , "Impartial intermediary" , "really!" .)
