D’Amato also states he screenshotted a thumbnail as coded speech and forwarded it to counsel.

Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, discussed active litigation during a June 20, 2026 YouTube livestream. He described a court hearing scheduled for the following Monday, characterized recent opposing filings as dilatory, and stated that additional civil and criminal actions were being compiled. The stream also included D’Amato’s account of a motion he says was filed under a false weather-emergency pretext, which he claims court staff refuted in real time.

"There's No Reason or Defense for Stalking, Doxing and Threatening Someone"

D’Amato framed the proceedings as settled on the merits, telling viewers the conduct against him had been fully documented. He stated that a recusal attempt against the presiding judge was frivolous and described the opposing parties as having “gotten way over their skis.” He also stated that regardless of Monday’s outcome, he intended to sue for legal fees. Addressing unnamed parties he described as “invisible,” D’Amato said some had characterized a prior subpoena threat as an attempt to harm them. He disputed that framing on stream, stating the correct path for anyone wishing to come forward was to contact his attorney directly. He added that anyone he recognized as a “goon” who attended the public hearing would be removed.

Exhibit A

D’Amato tells viewers, “They tried to recuse the judge for no reason,” then states the conduct against him constitutes a felony: “What they’ve done is a crime. And it’s a felony.” He adds that he will sue for legal fees regardless of the Monday ruling: “When loser draw, I’m still suing for the legal fees.”

D’Amato characterizes the alleged conduct as stalking, doxxing, and threatening, and asserts those acts are documented and not First Amendment protected. He states a legal fees claim will proceed on its own track regardless of Monday’s ruling.

Exhibit B

D’Amato describes discovery as the mechanism that will expose coordinated conduct, stating, “Once we do discovery, we get every chat, we get every word that’s been said.” He also says he screenshotted a thumbnail he described as “coded speech about the motorcycle or the rat on the motorcycle” and sent it to his attorney, adding, “And they think arrogance and fuckery is a defense and it’s not.”

D’Amato states the thumbnail was forwarded to counsel as potential evidence, framing it as intentional coded messaging rather than coincidence. He presents discovery as the point at which he claims the coordinated nature of the conduct will be fully exposed.

Exhibit C

D’Amato disputes a weather-based continuance request, stating the opposing party claimed a life-threatening power outage that court staff could not verify: “Like that’s part of the clerk and the staff of the judge.” He describes taking a screenshot of the power outage map while in court and says his attorney and the clerks both confirmed no outages were present at the relevant time and location.

D’Amato’s account of the continuance dispute is his own characterization of proceedings. He states the judge ultimately allowed the proceedings to continue as scheduled.

Exhibit D

D’Amato announces that additional legal action is being prepared, stating, “More legal action is being compiled against this individual and their cohorts. Some of it is civil and some of it is criminal. And it’s coming.” Earlier in the same segment he tells viewers that any recognized “goons” who attend the public hearing will be removed from the courtroom.

D’Amato’s statement that additional civil and criminal actions are being “compiled” is a description of anticipated future filings, not a confirmed filing. The remark about removing recognized attendees from the courtroom is a statement of intent, not an instruction directed at the stream audience.

Exhibit E

D’Amato responds to an unnamed party who, according to him, claimed he threatened to “harm them with a subpoena,” saying, “One of the, one of the invisible ones is whinging that I threatened them to try to harm them with a subpoena. No, I didn’t.” He states that people he intends to subpoena “can come into court and they can testify,” and adds that anyone wishing to come forward voluntarily should contact his attorney, not him directly.

D’Amato’s stated position is that subpoenaed parties will be identified through the legal process and that further action against them may follow. He explicitly directs any voluntary disclosures through counsel and states he wants no direct contact with the parties involved. Taken together, the five clips document D’Amato’s on-stream account of active litigation, including a contested continuance motion, a pending Monday hearing, and stated plans to pursue additional civil and criminal filings against named and unnamed parties.
