When will we get our cash back? Compensation urged for the thousands of investors trapped in ‘low risk’ products

Alistair Darling pledged that UK savers in failed Icelandic banks would get their money back and last week those with Icesave, owned by Lansbanki, started to receive cheques.

That was scant comfort for those in offshore subsidiaries of such as Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander Isle of Man (KSFIOM), who are not covered by Darling’s pledge.
