APEX Legends – ZDT NIGHTSHIFT CHOWDER, BORAX, STEAM [ZeroDarkTony] / August 10, 2026 / YouTube / YtJTX1zLv2c
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, spent the majority of an August 10, 2026 YouTube livestream directing repeated personal insults at a YouTube streamer known as DOA who he referred to by name as Scott. He also warned, on multiple occasions, that any lawsuit Scott filed would be met with a counter-suit and subpoenas targeting Scott’s accounts, associates, and a person he identified as David B.
“There Ain’t Gonna Be No Settlement, Cocksucker”
Across several segments of the stream, D’Amato described Scott as a “400 pound piece of shit” living off others’ goodwill, mocked his weight, appearance, intelligence, and family relationships, and dismissed any legal threat Scott posed. D’Amato claimed Scott had previously attempted to obtain a restraining order, and framed the current lawsuit discussion as an extension of that pattern. He also addressed a third party, David B, directly, stating that if Scott sued, David B’s account would be subpoenaed and David B would be named in a counter-suit. He added that David B’s wife had “said a lot of nasty shit” about him and would also be included.
D’Amato acknowledged throughout that he was aware the stream could be heard by Scott, at one point saying, “you know, between you and me and I know, but nobody else is going to hear this, I’m sure,” before continuing anyway. He framed his conditional counter-suit language as reluctant, stating he had “better things to do,” while also saying, “if that’s something that he does, he will regret it.”
Exhibit A
D’Amato signals to his audience that an earlier unspecified statement had already reached Scott, saying, “I think he’s thinking twice after what I said because there’s no way that he didn’t hear what I said.” The audience is invited to recall a prior statement via the rhetorical question, “Does anybody remember what I said I was going to do if he did?”

The prior statement is never specified in this clip, leaving its content unverified from this segment alone. D’Amato also characterizes his language from an earlier moment as “figuratively speaking, it’s a joke,” while in the same breath telling Scott to “sue me, fat ass.” The clip establishes that D’Amato was tracking whether Scott had heard his prior remarks and believed the remarks had a deterrent effect.
Exhibit B
D’Amato addresses the chat after being told Scott is discussing him elsewhere, saying, “I don’t care what this 400-pound piece of shit wants to say about it,” while also stating he has “no idea what he’s saying” and does not want to be told.

The clip documents D’Amato’s sustained use of weight-based insults directed at Scott across a single continuous segment. His stated indifference to Scott’s content runs alongside his willingness to describe Scott in graphic personal terms for his live audience. The clip establishes the tone and register of D’Amato’s commentary about Scott during this portion of the stream.
Exhibit C
D’Amato addresses David B directly by name, saying, “I swear to God, bro, if he fucking tries to sue me, we subpoena your account… And then we find out what’s really going on and we put you on a counter suit.”

D’Amato also states in this segment that David B’s wife “has said a lot of nasty shit about me” and would be included in the counter-suit on that basis. The conditional framing (“if he fucking tries to sue me”) is present throughout; D’Amato does not claim Scott has already filed. The clip establishes that D’Amato named specific third parties and stated on stream the legal mechanism he intended to use against them contingent on Scott filing suit.
Exhibit D
D’Amato says, “There ain’t gonna be no settlement, cocksucker. You better come from my fucking head, boy,” then, later in the same segment, “if that’s something that he does, he will regret it.” He also states that Scott’s sisters “don’t want him around their kids.”

D’Amato does not specify what form of regret he intends; “he will regret it” is the full content of the stated consequence. The clip also shows D’Amato invoking Scott’s family relationships as derogatory material for the stream audience. Taken together, the statements establish D’Amato’s stated position that no pre-trial resolution would be considered and that pursuit of litigation would carry unspecified personal consequences for Scott.
Exhibit E
D’Amato says, “He made money off of me and I can fucking prove it. Because what I’ll do is then I’m going to subpoena all his account and all his alts.” He also states, “there will certainly be a lot of objections because of his doxing.”

D’Amato closes this segment by acknowledging he would prefer not to spend time on litigation, saying, “Would I want to put my fucking time and energy into that? Absolutely not.” The reference to Scott’s alleged doxxing is D’Amato’s stated characterization of Scott’s conduct, not a verified finding. The clip establishes the full scope of D’Amato’s on-stream counter-suit theory: monetization claims, account subpoenas, and Scott’s alleged doxxing as litigation leverage.
Five clips from the August 11 stream document D’Amato naming specific individuals, stating specific legal mechanisms, and attaching an unspecified personal consequence to Scott filing suit, all broadcast live to a viewing audience whose chat remained active through the final minutes of the stream.
