We started looking for automated accounts tweeting or retweeting links to #antivax sites, and childrenshealthdefense(dot)com delivered something interesting (although not actually vaccine-related, as it turns out.) What's myGoodBot?

The tweets linking childrenshealthdefense(dot)com sent via the MyGoodBot app are all retweets of a @WeRaTruRepublic Bill Gates conspiracy theory tweet. These retweets happened very quickly - 20 in the span of two seconds.
These 20 retweets are from a 20 account botnet that fires off a batch of retweets via MyGoodBot seven times a day (3 hour gaps between most batches.) All 20 accounts retweet the same set of tweets. What are they amplifying?
This botnet mostly retweets retweet-to-win contests, and cheating at said contests via multiple account use is the likely goal. All tweets retweeted contain the word "retweet" as well as "win(s)" or "winner(s)"; the antivax tweet got retweeted because it contains those terms.
