Hi to all Steemians out there! My name is Tom and in my last article (https://steemit.com/steemit/@networkallstar/downvote-bot-army-rioting-on-steemit-downvote-bot-armee-wuetet-auf-steemit-eng-ger) I blogged about the downvote bot @camillesteemer. I will keep it in english (I hope my german friends can forgive me ;) ) I blogged about it because I was fed up with the constant downvotes from accounts I didn't even know and especially the growing number of them also concerned me. I disclosed a list of all the bot accounts downvoting me, which grew by the hour because the linking seemed to trigger even more downvotes with my link list.
It is kind of creepy pushing on in this thing, especially as a minnow, because you don't know who you are up against, but I feel that it is my responsibility now that I started my first post - I cannot stop now.
First of all I would like to thank a few spirited Steemians who made me feel not quite so alone on this one. Thank you to: @mad-runner, @jorgebgt, @xpilar, @jeyf123, @muscara and many more for their kind and supporting words!
Now without further ado I will come straight to the point. During my research on the bot accounts I noticed masses of STEEM transits (I call them transit accs) through these accounts being passed on to @camillesteemer. I used this tool to get the history: https://steemyy.com/transfer-viewer/ (BTW - I don't know the developer and it is not advertisment ;) )
Now I know I am stirring up a hornets' nest with these screenshots and account links and I will leave these diclosures uncommented. You as a reader have to make your own opinion.
These account shots are only an excerpt! There are many more accounts like these. For me it is important to show you the pattern of how it is working, so here we go - I have 4 examples for you, that are directly linked to @camillesteemer:

https://steemitwallet.com/@paraloi/transfers
https://steemitwallet.com/@a-alphasteem/transfers
https://steemitwallet.com/@hilonrima/transfers
I have found many more accounts with the same pattern but with no direct connection to @camillesteemer, so I won't post these. I am convinced, that there are hundreds of these accounts! Many pennies make a dollar!!! Please make your own opinion of the whole thing and feel free to comment.
Regrettably, I myself cannot do much more on this issue because I don't have programming skills nor am I a Steemit professional. This is my contribution and I hope it will change it for the better! Peace to all of you!
