The charges are a bit funny. [1] "From at least in or about October 2025 up to and including at least in or about December 2025, in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere outside of the jurisdiction of any particular State or district of the United States".

Um yes, everywhere is either inside of or outside of the jurisdiction of SDNY. But argueable, if you're charging somebody it only matters if it's _inside of_.

I think your reading of SDNY jurisdiction is a misreading. The SDNY is the venue for where the DOJ is charging them, which is fairly common for financial crime cases.
