You don't have to prove anything. You just have to charge the exchangers for being in involved in whatever laws they want to throw at them and tie it up in court, draining their funds and weakening the faith in the currency. That's how it works.

One does not simply compete with the Fed and the US government and frolic peacefully through the woods. They will invent new ways to fuck with you if they want you. You're talking about people who drop bombs on schools because they think one "terrorist" may be near. They are not going to hesitate to rain on Bitcoin's parade when and if they decide they have had enough. But that day is not today.

Besides, Bitcoin is only anonymous as long as you're a small player If you're moving any real money you have to be registered and that kills your anonymity. And the exchangers are all sitting ducks because they are tied to bank accounts. You want to see panic, let a few exchangers have their bank accounts frozen by the US gov.
