All this is fine and correct, but finish the thought:
>Never tell Jimmy any of this
>Continually string him along for years
>Force your partner to take all the blame for treating him like shit
>Exploit his kindly nature to make him your delivery boy cleaner bitch

There's a world where Chuck told him years ago, and honestly,
>Look Jimmy, I can't hire you, for a number of reasons.
>it'd be a nepotism hire for the firm,
>the school you went to is massively below our bar, and
>I like you personally but am worried you might return to your old scamming ways
>I can't hire someone whom I'm not sure I can trust with the firm's reputation.
>I also can't stake my reputation recommending you to other people, either:
>I'm not confident you won't do it somewhere else.
>I wish you gave me a chance to talk to you about this before you went ahead and just did it
>I would've told you this and could've saved you a lot of trouble.
>I hope you can understand, and I'm sorry

And in THAT world, Chuck's still hard-hearted and kinda retarded, but nevertheless unimpeachable. That world isn't the one we got.
