Has anyone compiled a list of cryptocoin exchanges whose owners are anonymous? If I understand correctly, the Russian folks behind BTC-E are still anonymous, yet they are about the 4th biggest exchange.

After so many scams and alleged hackings, how can anyone trust anonymous exchanges?

I can see the reason for remaining anonymous if you're running a site like Silk Road, but what possible reason is there for the operators of an exchange to not reveal their identities (thus building greater trust, hence increasing their market share & profit)?
