Anonomous Bitcoins?

Curious.

What is stopping someone from establishing an exchange that mearly joins two wallets together to buy and sell bitcoins.

Ie. You use whatever payment method of your choosing (credit card all the way to western union and cash deposit) and once funds are confirmed they transfer to the purchaser.

I understand KYC laws, but at what level do they kick in and become the responsibility of the middleman?

Not an expert in money laundering laws, but if the middleman touches cash / holds cash they are legally obligated to know the who why and what.
