Chuck is unscrupulous to achieve his goals and has no bottom line. Not only does he cover up and frame things, but he also uses his wife's trust to peek at his interview records to find clues... Everything is to satisfy his own desires, but in the name of justice.
In contrast, although Bobby also has a ruthless and even vindictive side, he only dealt with "enemies" with all his might.
Bobby gave Wendy far more trust and sincerity than Chuck. Even in the end, the hurtful act he made when he misunderstood Wendy was just a stress response after being betrayed and hurt by the most trusted person - he The black materials that he took out were just lace news that could not cause actual harm, indicating that he did not dare to talk to Wendy because of reliance, but after consciously being hurt, the symbolic meaning was far greater than the actual effect. , in fact, revealing sadness and despair. But this move of his must have chilled Wendy's heart, and the breakup was inevitable, which was embarrassing.
Going short on 9/11 was regarded as a huge stain on Bobby. If he was a firefighter and did not rush to put out the fire, but was busy making his own fortune, he would definitely be spurned. But isn't it his job as a hedge fund manager to do event-driven transactions? He is not short, and those who will die will still die. He donated the money he earned to the fire department, which was far more substantial than doing nothing and just standing there in shock and grief. The hatred, especially from the donated fire department, is unreasonable.
Was it wrong to not tell Downey about the chance to try a new drug? It seems so. He did that because he couldn't fully trust Downey (if he lived a few more months, he would have the chance to betray), and it turned out that his concerns were not superfluous, and Downey was indeed untrustworthy - took the 40 million settlement fee and finally decided Betrayed him, he saved himself by not offering a chance to test the medicine. Moreover, if it wasn't for Bobby's introduction of top experts, Downey would not have had the opportunity to participate in the trial. So strictly speaking, it did not deprive Downey of his survival time, but it did not help him prolong it, which just prevented him from being bitten back. So is it really doing something wrong? It doesn't seem to be. But Bobby was still so guilty that he deliberately punished himself with a huge failure. This just shows that his moral bottom line is far higher than that of Chuck's hypocrite.
