I have never heard that current accounts are the first to be payed back in bankruptcy.
Indeed stock holders lose first, then bond holders, both of which happened, and then saving account holders, all of them, except for the 'government guarantee' of 100.000 per client. It looks to me that the bankruptcy law was correctly applied. (though I'm not an expert in bankruptcy law)
I do find it odd that all money was lost above 100.000 per client. That means the bank lost likely 50-80% of their investments which seems very high. Normally after liquidating all assets, the shortage should be around 25% or something, like it was in the collapsed DSB bank in the Netherlands. So you might be right that the government just stole assets from the bank and thus you.
Do you have any proof or articles that show that capital was robbed from the bank by the government?
You got the point.
It's not normal when 100% of deposited money were lost (exempt "insured" 100k).
That happened because the bank was
restructured in perverted way, as
insisted by European Comission.
They (EU) decided to pillage so called "Russian oligarchs' stash" and use it to pay country's debt. Laiki Bank capitals seizure was one of the main points int the ultimatum from EU to Cyprus.
