Nice catch, i really doubt its wang though. He is making way more on his own account then this swarm could ever hope to make.
Yah I don't think @wang is the owner necessarily, it is just interesting to see him supporting someone affiliated with the bot-net. Not trying to make any implications here, just highlighting the association.
A lot of strange stuff going on. It will be interesting to see where this things goes.
A thought occurs:
I wonder if @wang had a automatic upvote script for posts that had so many upvotes in N time. Perhaps this bot-net is exploiting that?
