As with the vast majority of anti-Ukrainian accounts, the TrutherBotArmy accounts are nothing more than scammers and grifters, given not only a platform but an income by Musk. It is likely that these kinds of accounts will become more and more prevalent in the future.

It is highly likely that those that lost out financially will be interested to learn of the identities of the Nevada based couple behind the crypto scam.

This left the only other dev of NatiCoin holding the bag, broke, and suicidal. The NatiCoin community thought they were going to be millionaires, instead, they lost out to a crypto scam that would have been obvious to anyone outside the conspiracy cult Chris and Tina had created.

The excuse Chris gave to his stepping back from NatiCoin was a suspected attempt on his life. In reality, the shitcoin was no longer needed post X-monetisation - even Elon Musk subscribed to Illuminati Bot - and they had likely swiped all the money they could from it anyway.

The advent of crypto gave Chris and Tina the perfect opportunity to succeed where ‘wehaslinks’ had failed, by exploiting their followers to monetise their base. After two other failed attempts, (Illumi)NatiCoin was created, and the rugpull soon followed.

Ukraine is an obvious target for the conspiracists accounts. Biolabs, organ harvesting, money laundering, WW3, all the usual unimaginative garbage is there. These accounts aren’t boosted by larger pro-Russian accounts, instead they act as mid-tier seeders of anti-UA conspiracies.

This also creates a rabbit hole effect. With each new conspiracy fed to their followers, they fall further from the truth, more alienated from the real world, less trusting of mainstream voices, more gullible, and more easily manipulated. The deeper you go, the worse it gets.

The TrutherBotArmy has changed over the years, with names originally based on colours, each account now specialises in conspiracies related to, for example, health or alien encounters. They make sure they RT each other from time to time to cross-pollinate each accounts following.

As @conspirator0.bsky.social noted in their X post:
"The tweet schedules for the trutherbots are very similar. They are all 24/7 accounts, and they tend to have similar gaps in activity as well, with some variance."

Together they set up the original automated TrutherBotArmy accounts, building a following of likeminded conspiracists.

After Tina sent Chris a YT conspiracy video about 9/11 being an inside job, Chris immediately began his “deep research” into “other scams”. They rapidly spiraled into a co-dependent relationship, feeding into one another's paranoid delusions and bizarre fantasies.

Tina was deep into early internet conspiracy spaces, under the names ‘Alien Axioms’ and ‘Esoteric Exposal’. While we don’t wish to further a misogynistic view of girls leading young boys astray, Chris himself states he was easily influenced by self-identifying MENSA member Tina.

Our conspiracist Bonnie and Clyde started off setting up piracy site ‘wehaslinks’, but struggled to monetise the “well illegal” content. Tina, being 4 years older than Chris when they first met in high school, left an immediate mark on impressionable young Chris.

Chris likes to game under Steam names like “I rape feminists”. The account is shared with Tina, who is the subject of strange rumours suggesting a criminal past, issues with the IRS, connections to the Kansas City mob, and a working relationship with the Genovese family in Vegas.

IlluminatiBot, HealthBot and RedPillBot rank 2nd, 5th and 90th in the community notes leaderboard, with 1,630 community notes between them. With 7 other accounts, they have a combined total of 5.27M followers on X. Chris Gutierrez and Tiny O'Darby are behind the accounts.

From genocide denial to promoting Russian expansionism, Leandro uses X and exploits its algorithm to amplify Kremlin propaganda from the safety of Brazil. Such accounts undermine democratic discourse, and aid Russia's genocidal invasion.

Romão has for years claimed Ukraine is so weak that Kharkiv will fall “in the next few days,” while arguing Russia is not advancing due to being at war with all of NATO. These contradictions reflect more blatant propaganda than credible analysis.
