How is this information not public? All exchanges have terms of use where everything is clearly described.
No. Exchanges rely on third-parties and blockchain analysis and various blacklists to tell them what's good and what's bad and how high the threat-level is. The information they provide the public is always generic. If not, show me exactly what is illegal, which service has deemed it illegal, and how other custodial services that cooperate with a different blockchain analysis company view the same source of funds. Crypto from the same address can be frozen by exchange A but without facing any problems trading on exchange B. That's a flawed system and a flawed logic.
Do you understand the responsibility of companies when they are audited by regulatory authorities? For example, Binance will not talk to you at all; it will block your account and issue a form to fill out. If the completed information is not provided with full clarification, then goodbye.
My point exactly. If I own bitcoin that was in the past part of an illegal activity according to one such blockchain analysis provider without me knowing about it and not having done anything wrong, I stand to lose my coins by Binance or exchange X because I wanted to use their "no-KYC" service to swap for another coin. The chances are high that I won't get my bitcoin back even after filling out said infamous form. The form is only there to find out as much information about me as possible and not to return my coins. Thus, by using such a "no-KYC" exchange and hoping I'll anonymously swap cryptocurrencies, there is a chance I will lose both my money and my privacy.
You are now trying to defend those who take a very small percentage and have no evidence regarding the origin of the funds. In this thread, an example was given about Exolix, which has a large number of daily transactions and withheld users' funds. So read their topic and see how many of those people there are—just two! And what proof do they have? There are no concrete pieces of evidence, just words. Don't you think these are just trolls from competitors who want to tarnish their reputation?
Two people complaining on this forum doesn't mean there aren't 200 others who haven't said anything or aren't making their voices heard elsewhere. I am not familiar with the situation you mentioned about Exolix, so I can't comment on it. I am just stating possibilities. And yes, of course, those can be trolls. That's another possibility.
Since you brought up Exolix, it's one of the worst ranked no-KYC exchanges by KYCnot.me.
