Thanks for the reply! That makes sense from a pragmatic point of view, and I agree with the sentiment but its a pretty damning indictment of BTC-e and their reliability / trustworthiness in my opinion. From what I've seen from other posters, they seem to be freezing peoples accounts without any reasonable recourse for the users to have them unfrozen. I imagine they're making a nice profit from suspending the accounts of users who haven't been active for a while.

It feels like BTC-e will be the next MT Gox.
