While I've heard of some eventual successes, I wouldn't try to wire money to BTC-e. It seems that they selectively . . . misplace transfers in, anywhere from several weeks to months. Their customer service is completely unresponsive, so if it's a question of missing documents or the like, they don't want your help to clear it up.

Can you imagine what they're doing with your money? If you can imagine it, it's probably happening.

I've had it with these fraudsters. They've stolen over $10,000 from me. Don't let it happen to you.

Why would you do that though? You should only be exchanging in BTC or some other currency, not USD. Just cash out with USD, but never invest any, unless it's a small amount

What are you on about? Why would I use USD? Would things have been any different if I'd had my (American) bank transfer Euros? It's done, so that sounds like a rhetorical cheap shot on your part, but perhaps I misunderstand you. If you've had a good experience with a similar sequence of events, then by all means post about it, and try to recover some trust for BTC-e's fast-sinking reputation.

Maybe you're asking why I would send money to a (purportedly) reputable exchange in order to exchange that money for cryptocurrency? Why would I use a business for its intended purpose? Why would I then post about how I and many others now suspect them to be shady, in order that still others may avoid our fate? Sorry, I've no clue what your actual question might be. I doubt you have one.
