 The German federal police just executed a major, concerted crackdown on non-KYC exchanges:

"The operators of the now shut down exchange services are accused of knowingly concealing the origin of criminally obtained funds on a large scale through inadequate implementation of legal requirements for combating money laundering (so-called know-your-customer principle), and thus of having made themselves liable to prosecution for money laundering and operating criminal trading platforms on the Internet in accordance with Sections 127, 261 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 No. 2 and Paragraph 4 of the Criminal Code."
