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

New York is a big economy. Would your company want to risk being denied the ability to do business there? Also NY and CA tend to work in lockstep. If NY starts finding anything, you can be sure that CA will start looking too. CA's economy is larger than many countires.

Texas is the largest economy in the US, 3rd largest economy in the world (or something like that).

Texas has a big economy, it's third behind California and NY. It's 14th in the world if comparing the state against other countries. Texas residents don't fare too well, though, ranking 25th among US states, which earns TX the "impoverished" state qualifier for their below-average earnings per capita.

And they are running out of water too:
