The customer service bigshot said they would take full responsibility. I asked if that included replacing my funds.

They should definitely be liable. That’s ridiculous.

I'm most concerned they accessed your Google Authenticator. How?

I don't know. I didn't think that was possible. But they changed passwords on both accounts, and I am pretty sure

I think Google gives you the option of having a set of one-time use backup codes

They probably have SMS as a "backup" for your 2-factor

That defeats the whole reason for the app. 🙁

Man. I’m really sorry. There’s probably no getting that crypto back.

If they got it, correct.

I thought the stuff on my phone was saved on the local phone, but I'm wrong and it is all saved on the cloud?

No, they can just use your phone number to get access to just about anything
