The crime is just ludicrous enough to penetrate Valnikov's self-absorption. Besides, he is a pet lover himself (he has a parakeet and a gerbil).

Iranian stakes in the two companies were acquired under the Shah in 1974 and 1975, and they have a market value of approximately $270 million...
...funds lie in Allied Chemical, which is involved in the exploration, reprocessing and storage of nuclear fuel, and $1.6 million lie in the KerrMcGee Corporation another company involved with the total nuclear fuel cycle. Harvard also has $500,000 invested in J. Ray McDermott and Company, the owner of Babcock and Wilcox--the firm that built the reactor at Three Mile Island and six other plants throughout the country...
