This, combined with the fact that Google has said nothing officially about this, leads me to believe this is a hoax.

Wouldn’t be the first time something like this happened. If I recall correctly, there was also a gmail data loss issue a few years back?

Edit: ok, it was in 2011, which is a bit more than just a few years. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/03/01/gmail.lost.found/...

Yes, it has happened before. BTW, they guarantee nothing. So don't expect any other help than "Sorry we'll try to do better."
Looks like I got hit, nothing showing after Jun 1.
Another hoaxer...
All back now.
There are enough cases, including one of a Google Workspace administrator, that I don't think it's a hoax - but if it were widespread enough, we would've heard about it as soon as it happened.
still hilarious this comment is
