In 2006, Max began development of a television pilot for Comedy Central.[8][9] In the Fall of 2008, Max is set to release a new book titled Assholes Finish First[10][11][12]. He purportedly received a $300,000 advance from the publisher for his second book and has announced intentions to release a second edition of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.[13][14] Max is the founder of an online company named Rudius Media. The company website states that it is "dedicated to finding, publishing, managing and publicizing new and original content by unknown or under-promoted artists and writers."[15] His blogging network includes Mark Ebner, strategy writer Robert Greene and Jamie Kennedy.[16][17][18][19] His 2006 book I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is now slated to be a movie of the same title.[20]

In 2003, Max was court ordered to remove a story from his site which was a "tell all" account of his relationship with an ex-girlfriend and former Miss Vermont.[21] It was a less than flattering account and the alleged victim filed an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit. [22] The case was dismissed after the ACLU stepped in on Max's behalf claiming that the court had violated his First Amendment rights.[23] The story was later reposted on his website when all lawsuits were settled and was renamed "The (Almost Banned) Miss Vermont Story".

He was also sued by Anthony DiMeo, III under the Violence Against Women Act in 2006 due to allegedly harassing and annoying posts on Max's internet messageboard[24][25]The lawsuit was shortly dismissed as "frivolous", a decision many legal scholars agreed with.[26][27] The judge's brief concluded with the words: "Here we do so by protecting the coarse conversation that, it appears, never ends on tuckermax.com.[28]
