ZeroDarkTony is live [ZeroDarkTony] / November 2, 2026 / YouTube / _6mK91lKD78
He says he has video of Chi hanging flyers, with Chi’s voice on it, and could take it to investigators.
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, said during a November 2, 2026 YouTube livestream that a critic called Chi “is gonna have to go on this lawsuit,” along with “a few people” he did not name. He spent much of the stream on Scott Hochstetter, known online as DOA, who streams on YouTube at @thelordofthegadflies. D’Amato predicted Hochstetter would lose a court fight with a man D’Amato calls Aaron, or Clearwater, whom he says Hochstetter is trying to sue. D’Amato named no court and showed no filing."I've Already Identified the Behavior"
D’Amato said he did not have to put his evidence in a cease-and-desist letter, and that anyone who wanted to “play dumb” would see it in court. He told Chi he has video of Chi hanging flyers, with Chi’s voice on it, and said he could take it to investigators. He called the flyers enough on their own: “That little flyer stunt that you pulled with Chi, that’s all I need. That’s all I need. In and of itself, that alone, it’s gonna be very bad news.” On Hochstetter, D’Amato said “Clearwater is going to run this thing out for the next three years,” that Hochstetter would only “run up a bill,” and that it could be “a six figure loss.” These are D’Amato’s predictions.Exhibit A
After saying Hochstetter’s chat is “100% infiltrated” by people who “just wanna fuck me over,” D’Amato says: “If you, like I said, you want to play dumb, we’ll show it in court. Because you know exactly what the fuck I have.” He does not say the name here; by context he means Hochstetter, whose “long fight with Aaron” he described two minutes earlier and whom he names as Scott later. He adds that “Chi is gonna have to go on this lawsuit” and that he can bring the flyer evidence to investigators.Timestamps: 00:07:50 – 00:10:03 | Watch with a free account
D’Amato says he has “already identified the behavior” and will hold his evidence for court. He ties the investigator remark to the flyers.Exhibit B
D’Amato tells a critic he calls “Mr. Fat Fake Lawyer,” whose “non-lawyer review” of his letter he rejects: “I mean, I’ll tell you what once we get in that courtroom. I’m gonna peel the bark off you boy.” By context this is Hochstetter: in the same clip D’Amato says the man is “in for a long battle with old Clearwater” and then names Scott. D’Amato says he can “go put this together and file it tomorrow and serve it” if he wants to, but is not going to rush.Timestamps: 00:11:49 – 00:15:58 | Watch with a free account
D’Amato says he has no legal duty to answer replies to his letters. In the same clip he says Hochstetter is “in for a long battle with old Clearwater” and will “run up a bill. Just like what happened to Mr. Brooks.”Exhibit C
Turning to Chi, D’Amato says: “Chi, you fucked up. You fucked up. And I know you wanna deny that you ever did the flyers, but we have a video of it. And we have a video of your voice on there as well. Hanging up those fucking flyers.”Timestamps: 00:21:03 – 00:21:48 | Watch with a free account
Hero Not Zero has not seen the video D’Amato describes and cannot say whether it exists or what it shows.Exhibit D
D’Amato tells his audience: “So I’m gonna go in and I’m gonna show a judge three fucking years of this constant, you know, harassment.” He adds: “I can’t stop anybody from doing what they’re doing, but I sure as hell can bring it up in court.”Timestamps: 00:29:59 – 00:31:46 | Watch with a free account
D’Amato named no case number, court, or lawyer in this segment.Exhibit E
D’Amato says: “These dumbasses think that doing the same thing is going to get them different results and it’s not. Well, it is. It’s going to get them a court case, possibly criminal charges. And Scott is going to lose every single one of these.”Timestamps: 00:44:38 – 00:45:36 | Watch with a free account
D’Amato did not say who would bring the case or the charges, or what conduct they would cover.Exhibit F
D’Amato says of Hochstetter: “His best bet is to withdraw all of these complaints because he’s gonna lose. And he’s gonna lose very, very big. And it’s gonna be a six figure loss, right? Plain and simple, if not more.”Timestamps: 00:53:43 – 00:55:03 | Watch with a free account
He adds that Clearwater’s legal bills alone “could be 20 grand already.” He cited no filing or lawyer to back any of the figures. As of this stream, D’Amato had described a lawsuit that would include Chi but had not shown a filing.Sources
