According to this http://wealthcycles.com/features/cypress-bailout-deal-is-pil... deposits under 100,000 euros were exempt, with a 40% forfeiture of amounts over 100,000. There were other proposals, but that appears to have been the actual outcome.

So in other words, insured deposits were paid out fully and uninsured deposits got a big haircut. Sounds like the correct outcome to me.
