CCbill has always paid, I'm sure they will resolve your wire transfer problem.

This. Last time I had a wire missing the manager at my bank explained that SWIFT technology (and probably other forms of wire) is from the 1970s, and involves people keying in data to terminals that communicate between different banks. An international wire could end up going through 3 or 4 banks, which means 4 chances for someone to miskey the data and invalidate the wire.
I've received a wire from one program every fortnight since I opened this particular bank account in 2009. Same account details every time, yet two have been randomly lost. In both cases, the subsequent payment came through just fine.
I think it's a real stretch to conclude that an isolated payment issue means ccbill is insolvent.
