ZDT COFFEE HOUR FANFARE, ALTS, PLATITUDES [ZeroDarkTony] / September 27, 2026 / YouTube / JwXoWt90HtE
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, spent a September 27, 2026 YouTube livestream addressing what he described as coordinated harassment by multiple individuals using alternate accounts. He announced an active legal fundraiser via CashApp and Venmo. He also addressed an individual he said had created and posted sexual images of him.
“What Happens if Some Vigilante Comes Up Because They Think I’m a PDF?”
D’Amato told his audience that unnamed individuals had been “spreading this false narrative about me to thousands of people.” He then raised a hypothetical scenario in which that narrative could trigger a third-party attack on him, warning that if he were harmed as a result, the accusers would face criminal consequences: “if I am struck by lightning, you’re going to jail. Just understand that.” He followed that with a direct reference to pending litigation: “once we get you to a point where we subpoena you into a courtroom, do you think my attorney is going to have any sympathy or mercy on you?” Later in the stream, D’Amato stated, “for what you have done to me, I’m going to take everything I can, once I get you into that courtroom, for what you’ve done to me,” adding, “that’s not a threat.” He also stated that “people have already been physically injured” and asked his audience, “why would anybody want to continue down that path?”
Exhibit A
Addressing unnamed accusers directly, D’Amato raises a scenario in which false allegations lead to vigilante violence and states, “if I am struck by lightning, you’re going to jail,” before warning: “once we get you to a point where we subpoena you into a courtroom, do you think my attorney is going to have any sympathy or mercy on you?”

D’Amato constructs a causal chain linking his accusers’ speech to potential third-party violence, then asserts they would bear legal liability for any harm that results. The clip captures both the vigilante hypothetical and the subpoena warning as a continuous statement.
Exhibit B
D’Amato alleges the creation and posting of sexual images of him, then states: “for what you have done to me, I’m going to take everything I can, once I get you into that courtroom,” before adding, “that’s not a threat,” and later telling his audience, “people have already been physically injured.”

Interestingly, he claims, “we don’t bring in people’s moms and shit,” yet he actually targeted a minor and his mother, and is now serving probation for his criminal conduct that involved targeting the child and the child’s mother.
D’Amato’s allegation regarding sexual images, if accurate, describes conduct that may have legal consequences independent of his own litigation. Together, the two clips document D’Amato invoking a restraining order, pending subpoenas, and courtroom financial accountability against named and unnamed parties, while simultaneously soliciting donations for a legal fundraiser he described as the “only way to get this right.”
