Are the two that come to mind. Cyprus deposits in a couple of banks in 2013 above 100k were lost I believe. Icesave played out badly in the UK in 08, quite a few councils etc took some nasty lossses.
Either way, waiting for multiple years, winding up and down of court cases, bankrupcy proceedings etc to find out if the rest of your money is gone or not is not much fun.
The kind of person parking a couple of 100k in cash accounts is almost by definition risk averse.
