"Bitcoin exchanges violate the critical know-your-customer rule"

Not any more. Bitcoin-central.net in France already has all the licenses for exchange and knows its customers. MtGox is moving USD operations to US with Coinlab.

MtGox already knows its customers for deposits and withdrawals. I'm Australian and had to hand over lots of important documentation to allow for a bank transfer.

Thanks for clarifying that. I just wanted to point out that the exchanges are moving towards compliance with regulations, not from them.
