Screenshot from Dodge Landesman’s courthouse steps interview with Anthony D’Amato on Feb. 20, 2025. D’Amato was arrested and taken into custody by the LAPD approximately two hours after this interview.

The grotesque and vile Youtuber Zero Dark Tony a/k/a Anthony Robert D’Amato was arrested today, February 5, 2025, and is being held on a $130,000 bail.

D’Amato, 54, was arrested in a Los Angeles courthouse by LAPD Wilshire officers on an outstanding warrant.

Curious? We are very curious about what the LAPD will find when they download the contents of D’Amato’s phone. We recently did a video on these powerful forensic devices that the police legally use to download cellphones. These units are so powerful that they can blow past passcodes and encryption.

Anthony D’Amato is notorious for his extremely vicious and obscene daily online attacks on all prominent members of the anti-Scientology community. This has given rise to speculation that he is paid, via cutouts, by Scientology’s Office of Special Affairs to conduct these attacks. Will the LAPD find evidence on D’Amato’s phone of a connection? The LAPD will get everything.

This video shows the intensity and viciousness D’Amato uses against prominent members of the anti-Scientology community:
