ZDT NIGHTSHIFT BOOZE PRED DOA, ALABAMA, CROSS I [ZeroDarkTony] / October 8, 2026 / YouTube / ZZJYz6ednZM
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, described plans to consult multiple attorneys about John Doe lawsuit filings during an October 8, 2026 YouTube livestream. He stated he would not publicly announce a retained attorney until the representation was on the record. The stream also included extended verbal attacks on rival streamers he identified as Scott, Slop, MLH, and Crash Out, along with remarks about what he described as an inevitable audience of “real goons” targeting his primary rival.
“We’re Not Going to Announce It, Just Wait Until It’s on the Record”
D’Amato stated on stream that he had scheduled consultations with two attorneys, describing each as someone who specializes in John Doe litigation. He said that once an attorney is retained, “they will all be briefed,” listing the rival’s “goons,” lawyers, and bail bondsmen as recipients of that briefing. The remark about bail bondsmen was offered without elaboration.
Later in the stream, D’Amato addressed the possibility that his primary rival, Scott, might grow his audience. He stated on stream that “some real goons are going to lock onto him” if that happened, and characterized the outcome as an inevitable feature of how “the internet works.” He did not direct his own audience to take any action toward Scott; the remark framed third-party targeting as a natural consequence rather than a call to act.
D’Amato also claimed on stream that Scott “has got no loyalty, he’s got no integrity,” and alleged Scott was “suing his sister who has kids,” describing the financial impact on minors as “so gross.” These claims are attributed to D’Amato’s own statements and have not been independently verified.
Nor did he elaborate on the financial impact his legal matters have had on his own family.
Exhibit A
D’Amato describes the John Doe attorney search and his plan to withhold any announcement of retained counsel, stating: “Some of them just specialize in that area of lawsuit.”
Timestamps: 00:27:24 – 00:29:21 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato states he will consult “a couple” of attorneys and, once one is retained, will wait to announce until the representation appears on the record. He adds that “they will all be briefed of the goons and, you know, lawyers and bail bonds,” identifying the opposing side’s legal and personal contacts as targets of that disclosure. The clip establishes that D’Amato was, as of October 8, 2026, in active pre-litigation planning under a John Doe framework and had chosen a deliberate silence strategy around retaining counsel.
The evidence collectively documents D’Amato’s stated litigation posture and the hostile framing he applied to named rivals across the same broadcast.
