Yeah in some cases, and in other cases it's still just volunteers with really good lawyers.
And even then, there's still no definitive link from the exit node back to the guard (entry) node/relay.
And, if you're actually trying to be anonymous from 3 letter agencies, you wouldn't be messing with the clearnet (and therefore exit nodes) through Tor to begin with. You'd probably be sticking to Tor hidden services.
Who is running the exit nodes then? 3 letters agencies?
