ZDT NIGHTSHIFT PLARALYZED, DOA PRISON PREP, LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS [ZeroDarkTony] / November 1, 2026 / YouTube / U0DlUua_WTA

Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, said during a November 1, 2026 YouTube livestream that he had no duty to attach evidence to his cease-and-desist letters, and that because the conduct had not stopped, “we’re going all the way.”

"You Could Take That Thought and That Idea and Shove It up Your Ass"

D’Amato was answering a critic’s reaction video, which he called a “summary of what someone who’s not a lawyer thinks of what I sent them.” He did not name the critic in that passage. “I’m under no obligation whatsoever to attach my evidence and my strategy to a cease and desist letter,” he said. Later he said he had sent the letters “to two people,” that “there are going to be some other letters coming,” and that he writes a draft and then puts it “into ChatGPT to, you know, format it properly.” He said the people he wrote to had “publicly posted what email to send to,” which would make it “really easy to get electronic service from people who just won’t reveal themselves.” Hero Not Zero received one of his letters on October 28 and has reported on it separately.

Exhibit A

Responding to what he described as criticism of his cease-and-desist letter’s format, D’Amato says: “I am in no way required or obligated to attach any exhibits to any cease and desist letter. The cease and desist letter is not in the court. It’s… out of court. It’s a private… [s]aying, hey, look, like if you don’t want to stop, then we’re going all the way. And… obviously, the brakes are not being pumped, so we’ll do it that way.”
