Thanks for this. The bitcoin.com link was the top one that came up in a search for "Wei Dai Satoshi emails". The reason for including other coins was mainly due to the fact that the Wei Dai emails and Matonis emails are not included on NakamotoInstitute.org. The fact that Dai's are on bitcoin.com and that Matonis is a Wright believer may suggest that's why they're not on nakamotoinstitute.org. (If that makes sense!)
the video doesn't source bitcoin.com at all though, but the links I've provided. they're in the video description.
google sucks as a search engine and shouldn't be relied upon.
the Matonis and wei dai emails should be independently analyzed and not conflated here.

Yep. My hope is that a "source" might get traced back to whenever and wherever those supposed emails originated. For instance, did Wei Dai release those emails in a blog post somewhere? At some point, they got from his email and into the wild. In my mind, this would really help to determine if theyre legit.
I think about the Martti Malmi/Satoshi emails that got released by him on his own github. That's coming from the source itself, not a website that may have an agenda.

read the 2014 article: https://gwern.net/doc/bitcoin/2014-smithset.pdf
(might be worth digging into the archives of the sunday times newspaper to verify/find a copy)
it sounds like the author of that article had access to the emails, and then this gwern character somehow got a copy and posted them.
