and yes, Chuck (after putting Jimmy through law school? can't remember that far back) committed the unforgivable sin or telling a grown ass man that he didn't want him working at his law firm. impossible to get over that, and totally justifies everything else (including the deliberate sabotage of a mentally ill family member).
What? Pretty sure you got that wrong. Yes Chuck assumes Jimmy stole all the money, but we are shown that his dad was actually giving away that money to every sucker who came through the door. Jimmy steals a couple bucks after he realizes his dad was being a fool and giving it away, but that doesn't mean Jimmy stole the 14k. It's implied his dad gave all that away, which Chuck isn't aware the dad was doing.
Pretty sure that was the whole point of that scene, to show Jimmys dad was just giving money away and being played a fool constantly. Which made Jimmy not want to be like that.
I mean did Jimmys father even tell Chuck that he wouldn't hear it when Chuck blamed Jimmy? Maybe that's his dads way of protecting Jimmy, but I think it's because he knows it wasn't really Jimmys fault.
Jimmy is shown constantly to love his family, I highly doubt he just ripped his dad off constantly to bankruptcy. If he did end up stealing the money it was probably to help secure Chucks scholarship or something. No way Jimmy just pocketed the money, doesn't fit his character at all.
Jimmy has his flaws, but he's loyal to a fault to people he cares about.
