In the real world, although the jurisdiction is set to Washington state, there is still an international process to be followed as Gox does not have physical or legal presence in the US. To be served the court papers, it must be done through a court-to-court petition (rogatory letter, that cannot be sent by post office) the US court must request the Japanese court with jurisdiction over Gox to serve them the papers officially. Not only the japanese court can refuse ou delay it as much as possible (I've seen such cases take from 6 months to years just on this int'l paperwork come-and-go, it is usually a very very slow proccess even when the Hague Convention is applicable.

Nothing is going to happen in the weekend. Or for a good number of weekends to come.

The Hague Convention. Damn that was fun in my Conflict of Laws class. Grin
