IIRC, they got hacked. It was pretty nasty, too.
FinePrint was reportedly hacked last month. Is that the one you're thinking of, or is this a second agency website to be hacked in less than two months? Because if so, yikes!

Was it "Ms. E. Jote" who requested your manuscript? Elizabeth Jote left OE over a year ago, with no notice to (at least) some of her authors. Have you communicated with Ms Jote during this experience, or did you hear of her some other way? If it's the latter, she's no longer with the company. If the former, that's interesting information.
You mentioned that you've been submitting your manuscript to publishers. Did you query Objective Entertainment for agency representation, or did you submit your book to their sister e-pub, Paperless Publishing? Responses will vary, depending on what you were looking for.
Regardless, you might want to read back a page or ten. As you noted, reviews are mixed. It's good to be informed.
