Hypothetical: Jimmy never finds out.

Which yields a happier Jimmy? That his brother dropped the guillotine on him, or that a guy he already hated did it?

Chuck saw a path of least resistance that, if he'd have just executed a little better, would have led to Jimmy being happier and likely with a princely sum of money in his pocket.

Sure, there may have been selfish motivations as well - afterall, who wants to crush their sibling? But there is also a very real benevolent justification for using Hamlin as the hatchet man.
