Last Sunday you mentioned you might come to The Fishing Shack, but never turned up. Where did you go instead?  rubschin:

Bank of Cyprus savers suffer 47.5% haircut

It's offficial. Large investors with more than €100,000 in Bank of Cyprus when the country collapsed into a bailout this year are surrendering 47.5% of that money in exchange for new shares in the company.

The Central Bank of Cyprus announced the news today. It put a positive spin on it, saying "significant progress" had been made in recapitalising BoC.

According to Reuters, the move means depositors will lose around €8bn.

And what of the rest? The Central Bank of Cyprus explained that 12% of deposits that were previously blocked will be released. The balance will be split into three deposits per customer, which will be locked for six, nine and 12 months each. However,...

 
Quote
  BoC will have the option to renew the time deposits once for the same time duration

So in practice, savers might not get their hands on any of the money for a year, and could have to wait 24 months for the lot.
