ZDT NIGHTSHIFT MONKEYSHINES, DISENGAGE, FUSELAGE [ZeroDarkTony] / October 5, 2026 / YouTube / D3zjWpUFAEs
D’Amato also accuses Scott, E.T., and Chocolate of orchestrating harassment campaigns to make him “suffer.”
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, made on-stream claims during an October 5, 2026 YouTube livestream that he had been personally investigated and cleared of involvement in swatting incidents after speaking directly with a detective. D’Amato separately characterized rivals Scott, E.T., and Chocolate as “absolute craftsmen as far as weaponizing their audience.” The stream also included extended commentary on a pending criminal case, an unnamed rival’s physical appearance, and Scientology-related allegations.
“I Have No Doubt That Because of What Scott Has Said, That I Was Investigated Already and Cleared for Swattings”
D’Amato addressed allegations that he had called police on a named individual, acknowledging he had made calls but framing each as lawful. He then pivoted to swatting allegations, claiming his conversation with Detective Gomez served as both his defense and proof of clearance. In the same segment, D’Amato acknowledged that whether or not he gave his name when calling police varied: “Sometimes I gave my name. Sometimes I wanted to remain anonymous, depending on the atmosphere.” He then turned to rival streamers Scott, E.T., and Chocolate, accusing them of deliberately amplifying claims about him to cause harm. D’Amato stated they “made sure that thousands of people heard it so that I would suffer.”
Exhibit A
D’Amato claims he personally spoke to Detective Gomez and was cleared: “I personally told Detective Gomez I had nothing to do with any of it. I personally told her that.” He frames his history of calling police on stream as entirely lawful, stating, “Not illegal to call the police. I did it from my phone.”

D’Amato’s claim of clearance rests entirely on his own characterization of a conversation with Detective Gomez; no external confirmation appears in the stream. He also acknowledges uncertainty about the timing of his calls (“I don’t really remember when I called or not”) while simultaneously asserting the calls were inconsequential. The clip establishes D’Amato’s stated position that neither the calls nor any swatting-related inquiry resulted in legal jeopardy for him.
Exhibit B
Describing the aftermath of a conflict with Scott, E.T., and Chocolate, D’Amato says: “clearwater and scott and chocolate e.t are absolute…absolute craftsmen as far as weaponizing their audience…that’s what they did to me…they decided to make up this whole thing and made sure that thousands of people heard it so that I would suffer.”

D’Amato’s characterization of Scott, E.T., and Chocolate as audience-weaponizers is his own allegation, offered without corroborating evidence on stream. The clip documents D’Amato stating he was targeted as retaliation for something he said, and that the resulting audience exposure was intentional and harmful to him. It also captures D’Amato’s prediction that those who departed from the rival group will never again be trusted by them, framing the conflict as ongoing. Taken together, the two clips establish a recorded instance of D’Amato publicly claiming law-enforcement clearance from swatting allegations while simultaneously accusing named rivals of running coordinated audience campaigns against him, all within the same broadcast.
