Stolen along with another piece to make this by the thief:

Their whole portfolio looks dodgy and made up of stolen and edited stuff to me.

EDIT: Yup, looks like the other big part is stolen from this person:

good that you catch him from the beginning, it barely has two pages of stolen files

He copied me, but not exactly, so SS will do nothing.

However, in the first example it's clear he downloaded someone's illos and just placed one on top of the other (bodybuilder), so SS should remove that one, at least.
