How do we know this is real? I don't know much about Substack, but couldn't just about anyone create this, and "sign" it?

I (the OP) got it from Furman's X/Twitter account; he is a co-signer:

NYT reporter Colby Smith:

Various news agencies are now talking about it:

The statement is being reported by various news outlets - I don’t see a link to this substack from those articles but the quotes match up to what is at this link. I assume the Susbtack is from someone else who got a copy of the statement. Example article:

That might be it! First mention of Substack found: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/federal-reserve-jerome-powell-y...

Have _any_ of the signers contended that it isn't real and/or they didn't sign it?

The Substack was launched 3 hours ago. If they weren't involved, they might not even be aware of it.
