Just watched the video -- very good - thanks for posting.
Here's the person Ehrman references about the forged letters:
Diotimus the Stoic - Wikipedia
According to that report, Diotimus was put to death as a result of the lawsuit of Zeno the Epicurean. Ouch! Too bad there aren't more details on all that.
PS
They could have just fined him 787.5 million drachmas! 
I'm a big fan of Biblical studies. Thank you for sharing this, it's very fascinating.
Also I can't believe they straight up killed that dude just for forging letters.

If so, you might find Norman DeWitt's "St Paul and Epicurus" particularly interesting (if you've not already heard of it) -
oh I have not heard of this, I'm already intrigued, thanks for sharing
As you read the forum further you will see Don and I go back and forth on our views of that book. Both of us agree that DeWitt probably goes too far in the analogies that he draws, but depending on one's background one will find the book either super-interesting or unnecessarily speculative. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts as you read through it so if you have reactions worth posting, please do!
Here's a thread dedicated to that book, and this would probably be the best place for new discussions of it:

I tend to be part of the super-interesting wing, while I also agree the tone of his arguments sounds speculative. He claims there is a philological underpinning of his arguments and that his new translations are able to demystify passages he claims to be making no sense in a classical way of reading.
It would be quite important to consult an expert on this issue to check some of his claims.
What's still impressive to me is the fact that it seems DeWitt doesn't introduce any kind of new theological interpretation. Instead he sharpens Paul's profil. Indeed, Paul's message sounded more impressive and attractive to me than I did expect in the beginning.
