APEX Legends – ZDT COFFEE CHAT PIZZA, FISHING, TCB [ZeroDarkTony] / August 9, 2026 / YouTube / _F2hkLL6S8M
D’Amato warns named audience members their spouses could also be pulled into litigation.
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, spent a sustained portion of an August 9, 2026 YouTube livestream describing the legal action he said he would take if a person he referred to as “Scott” filed suit against him. D’Amato named several individuals by first name or handle, including “Chee,” “David B.,” “Lisa B.,” and “Lara,” and stated on stream that each would be added to a countersuit or subpoenaed as witnesses. D’Amato explicitly framed the statements as conditional on Scott proceeding with litigation.
“The one thing that will bring his whole community crashing to the ground is if he decides to sue me because I’ll pull him all the fuck into it”
D’Amato described a prior restraining-order proceeding he claimed Scott had lost, and argued that outcome demonstrated malice on Scott’s part. He then laid out what he said his legal response would be, naming Chee and David B. as targets of a countersuit, asserting they had engaged in what he characterized as a “felony” conspiracy. D’Amato also stated on stream that he intended to go to the LAPD with discovery materials to support a criminal conspiracy claim alongside a civil countersuit. Across several segments, D’Amato addressed David B. and his wife Lisa B. directly, repeating that both would be named in the countersuit. He stated, “I will subpoena your wife along with you. Please don’t put me in that position. I’m asking you nicely because when it happens, it’s not going to feel nice.” He told David B., “You have something to lose. You do,” and added, “I don’t give a shit if it sounds mean.” Later in the same segment he said, “I mean, I kind of do to be honest, but I really I really don’t,” before moving on to other topics.
Exhibit A
D’Amato raises the prospect of Lara being subpoenaed, asking Scott directly on stream: “You think Lara wouldn’t testify against you if she was subpoenaed? If we subpoena Lara into court, she’s going to have to tell the truth, buddy.” He then characterizes his statements as conditional, saying, “It’s not a threat, it’s a promise, go for it.”

D’Amato also states in this segment that Scott’s chat members who are “a little too interested in my life” would be subpoenaed and “brought into it.” The framing is explicitly conditional throughout: D’Amato presents subpoenas as the consequence of Scott choosing to sue, not as an action he is taking independently.
Exhibit B
D’Amato names Chee and David B. as parties he says will appear on the countersuit, stating, “100% Chee and David B. will be on that countersuit if that’s what he wants to do.” He characterizes their alleged involvement as felony conspiracy and predicts, “They’ll roll over on you in a fucking heartbeat.”

D’Amato claims that discovery would expose a “felony” conspiracy and states he would “bring it out.” The clip establishes that D’Amato named specific individuals and made specific legal characterizations on a public livestream.
Exhibit C
Addressing Chee and David B. together, D’Amato states: “And she and David, by the way, I’ll win the lawsuit and I’ll sue your fucking asses for damages because I have them because of what you did.” He references a “flyer thing” as the underlying conduct he says supports a damages claim.

D’Amato also states he would seek a restraining order against Scott on grounds of using litigation to harass, and says he intends to take discovery materials to the LAPD. The clip documents D’Amato making parallel civil and criminal referral claims in the same breath.
Exhibit D
D’Amato again addresses David B. and his wife Lisa B. directly, warning, “I will 100 counter sue, I will add Chee and I will add you and your wife to that lawsuit, David B.” He tells his audience to relay the message to David B., saying, “OK, and shut him the fuck up about lawsuits about me.”

D’Amato acknowledges the statement “sounds mean” and offers the characterization “ruthless” as his preferred framing. He also states, “I mean, I kind of do to be honest, but I really I really don’t,” when describing his stated reluctance to subpoena David B.’s wife.
Exhibit E
D’Amato states that discovery of David B.’s and Chee’s accounts would establish “civil conspiracy collusion,” then says to David B.: “You want to lose your house, David B? Fuck around and find out.” The statement is not preceded by a hedge or stated alternate purpose.

The clip also shows D’Amato referencing chat logs and screenshots as materials he says would support the conspiracy claim. The segment ends without D’Amato reiterating any conditional framing. Across approximately 50 minutes of documented broadcast, D’Amato named at least five individuals, including a spouse not alleged to be directly involved in the underlying dispute, and stated on a public livestream that each would face legal action contingent on Scott filing suit.
