Michael Akir

Michael Akir (identified as Robert Agin Dmitriev in 2009), was a Russian-American record producer and cult leader who founded Akir Records in 1982. He co-created many other side-projects, such as Drum Base, a pro-libertarian organization, and Dance Beneath the Grave, which many consider to be an arts project. It wasn’t until fifteen years after Akirs death that he received mass media attention. Police identified Akir to be Agin Dmitriev, who also ran a clothing store in Singapore. People suspected Akir's deceitful behavior right from the start, many stating that his record producing career was all part of a money laundering scheme.
