It's a shady industry to be sure, but not hearing of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist or isn't functional in some context.

I'd think the only way to bring honesty to this is to make exchanges report what their inbound/outbound wallets are, apply the ratios of in/out to reported volume gathered from "trustworthy" exchanges, and then you have a fuzzy guesstimate of the volume of these exchanges.

Those exchanges that don't submit data are either doing shady stuff, or don't care to be listed (which is perfectly fine).
