BTCe and Digital Currency Deposits

[MJS_gold]

I was surprised by how much lower the USD/BTC exchange rate is for BTCe compared to other exchanges.  Then I read some of the BTCe thread containing customer complaints.  The lower exchange rate would make sense if BTC buyers are afraid to deposit money with BTCe and/or BTC sellers are being prevented from transferring their BTC out of their BTCe accounts. 

Any idea how frequently BTCe steals or loses the USD wire transfer deposits of its customers or prevents them from transferring out their BTC?

I noticed that BTCe allows the deposit of digital currencies including LTC, NMC, NVC, TRC, FTC, XPM.   Are digital deposits much less likely to go missing from BTCe accounts?  Do any of these digital currencies have American exchanges that allow Americans to purchase them with USD?

Regards,

digital currency deposits/withdrawals are not a problem. (and there don't have to be a problem to cause lower rates)

Only money deposits/withdrawal is expensive (see fees) and in most cases very nerve-racking. Just search for "btc-e money on hold" or simular.
I advise you to only deposit/withdraw money via OKPAY. This do work at least with EUR with no problems and without verification. (it's some month ago I did this the last time)
