APEX Legends – ZDT COFFEE HOUR ASYLUM, NEGATIVITY BOOMERANG, FINITO, ZeroDarkTony / July 19, 2026 / YouTube / 36hp4ZydgSA
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, issued a series of conditional legal warnings to critics during a July 19, 2026 YouTube livestream. The stream, titled “ZDT COFFEE HOUR ASYLUM: NEGATIVITY BOOMERANG: FINITO,” included extended commentary on rivals D’Amato labeled “slop” and named an associate called “Bigg Dogg,” whom he addressed directly on stream.
“As Long as I’m Around, You Ain’t Ever Going to Achieve Anything”
D’Amato directed sustained verbal criticism at what he described as rival chat members and unnamed antagonists, characterizing them on stream as “obsessed stalker doxxer chatters” who “don’t have a life.” He stated that continuing to engage with him would be self-defeating, framing his ongoing presence as its own consequence for his critics. In a separate segment, D’Amato addressed a banned former chat associate referred to as “Bigg Dogg,” telling him on stream to “slow your roll” and explicitly distancing himself from Bigg Dogg’s conduct, stating, “I don’t want to be associated with that shit.”
Exhibit A
D’Amato tells his audience that critics who continue their behavior are directing his next steps: “if they want to continue down this path, I will continue, you know, down the path of subpoenas and bringing these idiots in, you’re just pushing me into the fucking direction of doing it, you know, so if that’s what you want to do, it’s really the ball’s in your court.”

D’Amato frames the subpoena threat as conditional and reactive, tying it explicitly to the behavior of his critics. He also states, “I would advise not ever, ever fucking coming nearing near me, ever,” directed at the same group.
Exhibit B
Addressing Bigg Dogg directly, D’Amato says, “my message to Bigg Dogg is slow your roll, dude, like what the fuck are you doing, stop,” and adds: “Bigg Dogg, either go to the fucking, either go to the courts or, kindly shut the fuck up.

D’Amato states Bigg Dogg has been banned from his chat “for a while” and that the conduct “ain’t making you look good.” The clip establishes that D’Amato was publicly drawing a boundary between himself and Bigg Dogg’s ongoing behavior at the time of the stream.
Exhibit C
Returning to his critics later in the stream, D’Amato says: “some of you motherfuckers are all real big and bad hiding behind your invisible channels… it’s serious enough for a subpoena, and if I so choose, I will, and if you want to keep pushing me in that direction and get yourself dragged into a courtroom, keep it up.”

This segment repeats and sharpens the conditional subpoena language from Exhibit A, adding the phrase “if I so choose” before restating the threat. D’Amato acknowledges that the targets are anonymous (“hiding behind your invisible channels”) but states that anonymity does not place them beyond legal process. Across three clips from the same stream, D’Amato stated on at least two separate occasions that subpoenas were a available recourse he was willing to pursue, framing each instance as contingent on continued conduct by his critics.
