Maximus Entertainment

A number of bands have tried to expose Maximus Entertainment (aka Atlantic Pacific entertainment) in the past only to be threatened by the ex-con shady ass owner / CEO Robert Devine. The man is a complete psychopath, who threatened that if “they didn’t take the articles about how Maximus Entertainment had screwed them over” he would call the police on them / threaten to sue / have a private investigator “look into what they were doing” and call the cops and have “their door kicked in” because they probably had some marijuana in their apartment.

Now it is many years after the fact and I would like to publish one bands story, whom Maximus Entertainment (and Robert Devine) tried to “manage out of existance” and bully when they decided to speak up.

If you are solicited by a guy name Robert Divine, that works with a band booking / music management company named Maximus Entertainment (formerly Atlantic Pacific Entertainment), do not do business with this prick. The guy is a scam artist who runs a shiesty telemarketing operation that preys on hungry bands. They promise professional representation, “shopping them to music conventions”, booking tours for them, getting a record deal or about a million other bullshit stories. His Modus Operandi is to ask for $300.00 (or as much as he thinks he can get – it probably has gone up by now) and will do NOTHING for you. That’s right he will take that money and do NOTHING! The guy DOES talk a mean game on the phone, so watch out!

You may as well take your money and burn it.

The fact is, the guy is a greedy, incompetent, lying bastard and a scam artist. He is only after easy money, does not care how he does it. He has no clue about what’s going on in music today, is not afraid to waste your time, and has NO real connections in the music business.

I wouldn’t be so pissed about this, had I called him. The fact is: he came to us with a fist full of empty promises. From what I understand, he is still HEAVILY soliciting bands for this same scam. If you look on the website www.MaximusEntertainment.com you will see where it says, “Representing World Class Talent Since 1987″. Here’s a little fact you need to know Robert Divine Aka Atlantic Pacific Entertainment: This lying fuck in prison from 1989 for a felony drug dealing conviction. I guess now he is running another criminal racket. That doesn’t even matter, if they are trying to run an honest business…cool, but that is not the case here!! He makes his living booking such dinosaur bands such as Nazareth, Molly Hatchet, Rick Derringer, and Georgia Satellites that he sold drugs to in the 80s.

Many bands have contacted about them, asking what they’ve been doing for us. So, that is the whole reason I’ve spent this much time exposing this scam. I’m sure he’s pulling plenty of shit I don’t know about too!! If you are in a band don’t let these idiots waste your time and money, like they did for me. I’m not so pissed about the money, these assholes effectively killed my promising career in music just as it was starting to take off.

Now in 2009 it seems they are still pulling the same shit, only now having expanded this scam to California and Florida. Their main office is still in Austin, Teaxas, where I am sure he is not allowed to leave as a condition of his parole. He still appears to be swindling bands and leaching off dreams almost 10 years later.

Fuck Maximus Entertainment (aka Atlantic Pacific entertainment) and Robert Divine.

The man is a human parasite.

Dear Admin/Author,
One of my clients brought to my attention that this blog post from 2009 came up in a search for our store, and so I thought I would leave my own comments.

First, I assume you found us online by doing a search for Sugarbabies, Sugar Daddies or something similar considering your general topics of choice (which we will not go into), and decided to simply pick on some random business just for fun.

You obviously have never been anywhere NEAR our building, as we do indeed have wheelchair access, and there is no structural or physical way anyone could “fall head on into” the kitchen from the outside or inside the store. Had you ever actually been here, we all know you wouldn’t have found any needles, rats, excrement, maggots, and of course no mongoloid-herion-freaks with tuberculosis as you so vividly described. I also don’t carry a gun, nor do I remember receiving a copy of a police report that supposedly put you in jail for 2 weeks. What I do carry is the number in my rolodex for a great attorney (and frequent client), who would be happy to discuss the definition and legal consequences of libel with you for publishing “defamation by written or printed word.” That’s a definition for you right there…consider it a freebie.

While it might have been pure entertainment for you to post what you did, never thinking it would ever get back to us, you can’t simply go around making disgusting, malicious comments about a business you’ve never been to. You CAN kindly remove the post in question now or hear from that great attorney of mine. I was able to pull your contact info through a quick search online.

Quite sincerely-
The owner of Sugarbaby’s Cupcake Boutique in Houston
