Title: Could Somebody Dodge AML/KYC requirements with a "Miner" Exchange?

Ignore the technical details for the moment. Imagine some sort of "Cloud Computing" service that allowed people to purchase a certain number of hashes (hashes right now, not like normal cloud hasing operations) per dollar. These cloud computing machines can be pre-configured to mine as part of a pool so as to minimize randomness. This would effectively a way of exchanging USD to BTC, without ever actually doing an exchange. Is this a way of running an "almost" Bitcoin exchange while dodging KYC requirements?

Yes it is and done everyday. Such new thing that I guess there´s no any reference case.
