D’Amato said he has screenshots of critics reporting his channel, called it “torsion interference,” dared watchers to speak up in chat, and told Scott Hochstetter that a man he calls 86 could “bury you, legally.”
Three days after his messages were removed from her chat, Anthony D’Amato was back, and Meena Khattak read his jokes about Scott Hochstetter on air. The panel also answered Hero Not Zero’s reporting and spent half an hour mocking a streamer who had recently been in the hospital.
D’Amato said he has “absolute proof” that a critic he describes as living in a broken-down RV is harassing him for money, predicted a bail revocation hearing for the man, and said “ZDT the God is not my email.”
D’Amato described sending a cease-and-desist letter, promised subpoenas for metadata and IP addresses, and said he intends to expose JB’s employer.
On an October 29 stream, D’Amato cursed at a chat critic, said he took a plea deal in a past criminal case, and told a person he calls Cody, whom he accuses of doxxing victims in that case, “you’re going to pay for that.”
After a judge awarded him $10,725 in attorney fees against Jarred Brooks, D’Amato told his Oct. 29 YouTube stream that John Doe cases are coming, warned cease-and-desist recipients, and reopened his legal fund as the “ZDT Justice Fund.”
D’Amato outlined a plan involving a detective, the district attorney and a bail bondsman, all aimed at his rival Scott Hochstetter, who streams as DOA. In September, Hochstetter named D’Amato as one of 37 defendants in a federal civil rights lawsuit.
On an October 29 stream, D’Amato accused Scott Hochstetter of planning to visit and record at an elderly couple’s home and said that if anything happened to them, Hochstetter would go to prison.
D’Amato said cease-and-desist letters were going out to critics, said Scott Hochstetter is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and argued that a critic’s claims about his Scientology ties are a hate crime.
On an Oct. 28 stream, D’Amato said he would file a police report against Scott Hochstetter, who faces felony charges, and would learn the identities of critics he says he could sue.
