ZDT NIGHTSHIFT ELECTION, LEVITATION, DOGS OF WAR [ZeroDarkTony] / November 4, 2026 / YouTube / MVhI2aD8IF8

D’Amato says the process “may or may not have already begun” and tells viewers five legitimate reports would “take care of this.”

Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, spent much of a November 4, 2026 YouTube livestream telling viewers how to file police reports against Scott Hochstetter, known online as DOA, who streams on YouTube at @thelordofthegadflies. Citing “reports I got,” D’Amato claimed a judge he named as Wendy Siegel had ordered Hochstetter not to harass anyone, and argued that reports of violations could get the bond he says Hochstetter is on revoked. He called these lawful “remedies” for anyone harassed or doxxed.

"If There Are Enough Police Reports… the Bondsman Will Pull His Bail"

D’Amato laid out the steps several times. Viewers who say Hochstetter harassed or doxxed them should file a report with their local police, send it to the prosecutor and copy the bail bondsman. The bondsman, he said, would act to protect his money: “the bail bondsman has to cut it off before it gets to the judge. So what the bail bondsman will do is revoke the bond to save their ass and their money and their business.” He named Helgaer, Sticker Chick and KT Pita as viewers with complaints “very, very viable for getting a bond revoked,” added Maui and himself to make five, and said five legitimate reports would be enough. Incidents from “three months ago, six months ago” still count, he said, because “those orders were still in place.” He also hinted that something was already underway: “the process on this may or may not have already begun. And he did it to himself. Nobody did this to him. Nobody is ratting on him. Nobody is snitching on him.”

Exhibit A

After telling viewers that calling the bail bondsman without a police report is “not going to work,” D’Amato names the judge as Wendy Siegel, unsure of the spelling (“S-E-A-G-A-L, I believe”), then says: “you could remind any officer, any agency that you report this to, that this is the judge that gave that specific order… I encourage anybody who has been doxxed, harassed, threatened in any way shape or form from this fat clown. Go get a police report. Send it to the bail bondsman and the DA.”

He says the complaints must be legitimate and backed by a police report, and types the judge’s name on screen for viewers to cite. In between, he tells Hochstetter: “you belong in a fucking cage.”

Exhibit B

After saying nothing will get done unless people “put it on paper,” D’Amato says: “And yes, I am encouraging you. If you see something, say something… this may or may not have already, the process on this may or may not have already begun. And he did it to himself.”

He does not say what process he means or who started it, and frames whatever happens as Hochstetter’s own doing.

Exhibit C

D’Amato states: “This motherfucker wants to lie and misrepresent the truth about me… It’s harassment. That he’s not supposed to be doing, according to the Honorable Wendy Siegel… if you want to continue to misrepresent the truth and defame me and harass me, well, I just want to go drop a report myself if I haven’t already.”

He claims Hochstetter’s statements about him are harassment barred by the judge’s order, and says he may already have filed a report himself. Calling or emailing the prosecutor is not enough, he adds; it takes “something official from a law enforcement department.”

Exhibit D

After naming Helgaer, Sticker Chick and KT Pita as viewers with viable complaints, D’Amato addresses Hochstetter: “good luck, DOA, good luck. You know, with your big mouth and all the people you harass and threaten, you might be in jail for Christmas and Thanksgiving.” He then says: “I think those five legitimate reports would take care of this piece of shit.”

Right after predicting jail, he says: “Nothing illegal about what I’m doing at all.” He counts Maui and himself to reach five, and says a screenshot would carry more weight in Helgaer’s own police report than in his.

Exhibit E

D’Amato tells viewers: “if anybody has been doxxed any of their private information at all, I would say take it to your local police department. These are violations of DOA’s bond because according to the reports I got, the honorable Judge Wendy Siegel told him he is not supposed to harass anybody on any level at all, ever, no way, no how… any harassment that makes you feel intimidated, puts you in fear, like maybe posting your email, then you could take that to your local police department. You could email it to the prosecutor and cc the bail bondsman.”

This is the fullest version of his plan: local police, then the prosecutor, with the bail bondsman copied, who he says will revoke the bond before a hearing to protect his money. He bases the terms of the order on “reports I got,” not on the order itself, which the clips do not show. In the same clip he claims Hochstetter “threatened an elderly couple” in the past week.
