no... BFL is not located in NY - NY the state has jurisdiction within its borders.

noone on this forum seems to understand jurisdiction. it's like AsicMiner getting a subpeona from him. does it make sense?

i mean they can ask nicely after all- subpeona is not asking nicely

When you do business in any state (regardless of where the company is incorporate or operates) you must comply with laws of the state you are doing business in.  If BFL has customers in NY state and the authorities feel they have broken NY state laws they can go after them.
