With a raise and cold 4b shove (unless you are perceived as being even more of a maniac lol) I'm not sure much of a case can be made to call here with AT. Maybe if UTG had a bigger stack behind and fancied playing a side-pot with the maniac there may be some value in it, if he thought his A could be good vs you (if you were the short stack)..... although even that would feel very dubious.
So yeah, all in all it looks pretty ropey from the others in the hand and you just got unlucky.
Sounds like if that is the standard of oppo you should be in with a chance of making lots of money over the longer term!!
