Classical Composer Slams ‘Russian Bad Guys’ in Scam Accusation
A NYC composer whose music has graced Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center is fighting back hard. Igor Raykhelson — who’s apparently been trading metals on the side — just went off on his accusers, telling them exactly where they can go.
Here’s the messy part: Raykhelson was selling titanium to AVISMA, a major Russian metal company. But now he’s caught up in accusations of running a massive scam. Instead of staying quiet, he’s firing back, calling out the \”Russian bad guys\” involved and making it crystal clear he’s not taking this lying down.
The composer — who’s built a legitimate career getting his work performed at two of New York’s most prestigious venues — apparently moonlights in the metals trade. That’s where things got complicated. The exact details of the alleged scam are murky, but Raykhelson’s not backing down. His message? Those involved can basically kick rocks.
