But the money used to fund the deal was from Chuck's trust. His role as attorney general prevents him from touching it. Axe figured that out. Chuck can't move forward with this without destroying his current career and future in politics. However, now he brought in that nerd from DC who is all about justice. Once Chuck realizes his mistake he won't be able to call off the dogs.
I don't know all of the details of Chuck's plan, but the fact that he let Axe realize that he's personally involved was part of the "bait". Just like Axe bought up all of the copies of the book that Chuck wanted, he knew Axe couldn't resist personally screwing Chuck. I don't think it was a mistake.
Axe wouldn't have made as many mistakes if he didn't think he needed to act fast in order to personally ruin Chuck.
