From what was posted in that thread, even if they did buy the content from a shady provider, it would not have had the required 2257 docs, which should have been a red flag for them. On top of that, also in that thread, it was pointed out that this instance wasn't the first time stolen content appeared on their sites. Technically I guess it would be considered an assumption, but the evidence looks pretty damning.
Still assumptions.
Here is what I do know. Serious Partners has been in the biz for a while now and their flagship sites are content they make which is top notch.
I have never seen any actual evidence to either past "theft" or evidence pointing the the idea that they knowingly ripped off another company's content, and I really doubt a company the size of Serious Partners goes off willy nilly just ripping off content.

Unless they are just completely nuts.
