We took a look at #coronavirus conspiracy theorist and GOP congressional candidate @DeAnna4Congress's early followers, and found 259 oddly similar accounts, all created on November 23rd, 2010. The accounts in question do not follow her opponent, @SpeakerPelosi.

The accounts in question also have 0 likes and repetitive biographies. We can use this to find more accounts that are part of the network by scanning accounts created in roughly the same time range for other zero-like accounts using the same biographies.
We found 778 accounts, all created over the course of six hours on November 23, 2010. All of these accounts are presently dormant but (hypothetically) tweeted exclusively via the Twitter website when active, and all but one have female profile pics.
These 778 accounts use a total of 82 different bios. Here are the ones that have been used at least ten times; if you're a man in need of a spammy chorus of automated dating coaches, apparently this is the botnet you've been waiting for.
These accounts also repeat tweets, both within and across accounts, with the most frequently repeated tweets being used hundreds of times. The tweet content mirrors the profile content: lots of stuff about online dating and becoming a "pickup artist."
