Holy crap, I'm glad that I moved my money out of BTC-e and over to a different exchange. Never really put much thought into BTC-e but they were pretty lax when it came to account creation and trading.
Only reason I started using it again was due to using it previously to exchanging some Bitcoin into Litecoin and then forgetting about it until recently.
Would also explain the recent unscheduled maintenance going on right now over at BTC-e.
Good call. EffieNme are fairly new to cryptocurrency, and we've learned quite quickly these coins and platforms move at the speed of Lite, and we can get burned so fast! Everybody be careful out there!
