No matter the bond of brotherly love, his need to constantly stay ahead, beat and otherwise have one over on Jimmy is as much a reason that Jimmy doesn't stay on the narrow as anything.

In Chuck's mind, Jimmy will never get "ahead" of him, because to Chuck what matters is respect of the legal community... and to Jimmy, he thought it was respect of his brother but since he knows he can't have that, now it's going to be money. Lots and lots of money.
