I think anyone who espouses the virtues of Bitcoin to a non-bitcoiner (freedom money, decentralised, separate and fortressed from government coersion, confiscation or control) and then refers that person to a KYC exchange is a fraud.

Imagine selling someone a gold bar, after convincing them of the necessity for sound money, real currency and soverign ownership, and that the money they are handing over in exchange is worth little, but not telling them there is a government tracking device inside the bar that alerts the government when it is aquired, and how much the bar is worth when it is. But this person selling is holding gold bars the government doesn't know about, and wants cash for them. That's what's happening.
