It would take a huge amount of effort to fake, and real life backs up the majority of their contents. Especially in this case, where the 4chan posts were screencapped/ archived, where reporters knew almost as soon as the feds did.
I haven’t found any evidence of planted or fake documents so far and I’ve looked at several thousands of these. It would be truly a substantial undertaking to forge the kind of interlocked chains of custody in these documents. And reality bears out the chains of custody we do see. That would be practically impossible to forge.
Its also clear that there is significant omissions by those chains of custody. If you were going to fake the chains of custody, why would you leave such clear and obvious holes.
