Expect it to take around half a year.

Have you experienced this?

How could it be acceptable to hold innocent people's money for 6 months?

its normal with banking. Luckily its only 6 months.
I know of a country which is very famous for banking and many folks here have accounts in (including me) where money can be held for 10 years counting or whose banks apply other sneaky methods to screw you (more or less legally).

This would never fly in West Europe. Must be an offshore center where consumer protection law is pretty much inexistant.
